Well, after a long resting period I am now thinking about completing more cities and parks. Yesterday, I almost finished Norwood. Norwood seems to be a pleasant and quiet community. Saw several union signs. Very green surroundings.

Had a nice walk around Knollcrest
I think area is a good place to run and walk in the evening. Not much traffic and there are plenty of sidewalks.

I finally felt well enough to do a short trail run at Donovan. Donovan is really a nice park to run at. There are sculptures spread throughout the park. There is also a lot of restoration work going on. Eventually it might be the future home of the endangered rusty patched bumblebee.
