When I started the first phase back in January I had ... http://myrunningroute.com/200811/journal/weigh-in-1/ Skipping the park this morning as I found myself the far side of town so decided to make a handy 15-minute route from the College Road, down New Street, Friary Street, High Street, Patrick Street, Ormonde Road and back onto the College Road again.
