Hi Folks,

Just completed run 2. Was cold out again, need some of the December temps back!

Pretty much same as run 1, auto pilot and steady, managed a tad more distance than run 1.

Stats have been added.

Elsie, How did you get on?

Hi Val,

Thank you. I normally run around West Ham Park ( I suppose Central is closer to you), this was the first night that I changed my route, and was a bit of a blind run as I didn't know how far out to go.

I did want to run down Priory Park, but wasn't too sure if it led back out onto Green St or anywhere.

Will have a look on google later and see if I can cut through somewhere. I normally run around 7-7.30pm, keep an eye out it'll look like a meteor just passsed :) : )

Saul.

ps. Ercan's chips are the best!

Priory Park has a gate opposite the back of the football ground and a big long block of flats called Priory Court that leads through an alleyway and takes you into Tudor Road. If you turn left when you leave the alleyway and go down Tudor Road this leads you to Green Street, I doubt the alleyway will be on Google Maps as there is no traffic, just a footpath. It brings you out just before Queens Road pub and Market.

Good luck with your running!

Regards, Val.

P.S,

Priory Park shut their gates at dusk, so be careful not to get locked in! It's better in the summer as they stay open until almost 10 pm.

Yes Saul,

Ercan's chips are great! Although they reckon they are shutting down when West Ham move at the end of the season. Such a shame!

Oh no....that is a shame. All the good chippies are closing down. Capri further down has dropped it's standards, so it will be a hunt for a new decent chippie.
