Hamlin park
Check out prospect street in East Aurora for some good times this summer. If you are there between 8 and 10 AM you’ll have the place all to yourself, but you might have to share it with me. This spot has been my new morning hang out. They have a great track and some killer tennis courts. If you’re in the mood for a BBQ (don’t BYOB) then bring the carbon because this park is loaded with Grills and picnic tables.
I know some might say, “The weather’s been lousy!” but this morning I popped in my headphones, let the beats rock, and did some serious work! The track is just starting to dry out from this weeks torrents of rain, and it feels great under my Pumas. Kudos to the EA parks and rec. crew. I saw them out there yesterday trimming it up for me.
The park even comes with instructions on how to play smart, not hard. So for those of you who aren’t familiar with the delicate art of enjoyment, just look for the blue and red sign on the fringe of the playground. If you need some motivation, then Listen to today’s warmup track. I needed some techno to blast me through today’s run, and The Chem. Bros. hit the spot.
I’ve been looking for some good stretches and would love tips from any runners. What stretches do you do before starting your day? Do you have any favorites?
