Come With Me on an Exploratory Run 🏃‍♀️

Greetings my Steem Fam & Friends! Today I enjoyed a nice exploratory run starting out at a new park called Hester's park. The above is an unedited photo of me after. Just shows what exercise & a little clean living will do for the complexion. 😉 I put no expectations on this run because I was exploring. Here's the stats & you'll see the protectionist runner tendencies coming out.....I sware it was 4.50 when I stopped the app! Who runs 4.49 anyway? LOL

Hester's park is pretty but not much distance there for the runner. I spent most of my time not at the park and running along the river on various paths I found. Nonetheless, the park had some nice photograph worthy places.

This bridge was neat but what struck me was the neatly folded blanket under the left side. Zoom in, you'll see it. Someone clearly sleeps there. There were rolling paths with pretty flowers and trees in Hester park...




That about wraps up Hester's park- a pretty place, just not much distance to be had. Lucky for me I found this path below the park and along the Mississippi to have a lot more distance to it.

There was a cute offshoot from the path above...

After going up a decent hill, I came to a more "put together" portion of the river walk.

About ~1/4 mile past this point I found this interesting St Cloud frame? That's what I'm going to call it. I could picture a family portrait inside it.

And, if you were ever curious about what I do with all my Steemit money, here's my crib...

😁 Just kidding. Maybe when steem reaches $1000, then we'll revisit this idea. 😉 So that truly wraps up this exploratory run. It was pretty fun & a good reminder that exercise doesn't always need to be "hard core." If you don't enjoy it, you're less likely to do it. So keep it fun! Until next time!
