I chose Juniper Park as I wanted something that had some up and downs and a definite beginning and end. The park was pretty empty, except for a guy who was grooving out to his earbuds on a little hill, and a couple of dudes at a picnic table who soon left.
The tennis court area had been under construction on earlier visits, but was now completed, with a new map showing the one-mile route. It took me just over half an hour to go about a mile and a half, so my time is improving. Bonus in that I've noticed I now walk faster at other places, too.
The weather was nice, a little on the chilly side, but I was warm at the end of my walk. In the park, most of the leaves had fallen from the trees, but there was one thicket where the yellows of the aspens and the lotus trees were so bright, it seemed that they were shining.
