Destination: Carlington Hill

If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw this post:
I try to get in 5K worth of walking every day. I do this by:
– going to bed at a reasonable time the night before
– setting my alarm
– putting out my clothes the night before (sports bra, top, shorts, etc.)
I get up, have a coffee, download a good podcast, and go.
My routes vary, depending on how I’m feeling. Today I went to the hill behind the Dulude arena on the advice of a good friend. And I’m glad I did.
Getting TO Carlington Hill wasn’t exactly scenic, but once I was there… wow. It was a beautiful morning, and no one was around. And to think, I almost missed this:
I haven’t been here for years. (The last time may have been when we set off Mark’s rocket.)
Before today I had not yet seen the amazing bike park at the top! I hope it’s being used because it’s super cool. (ATTENTION ALL YOUNG PEOPLE.)
After I checked out the bike park I walked up and down the hill four or five times, and walked back home, happy I made the extra effort today.
