6640 m jog in 45 min 38 s, at a leisurly average pace of 8.7 km/h.

It's funny how in October when it's + 4 C and raining snow/water horizontally you can have this route and the parks all to yourself and hardly meet anyone during the run. Today it's sunny and +20 C and the scene is very different. Every imaginable species of urban park-dweller (and their dog!) is out and about. Jogging in June has much less of a "Hyvä on hiihtäjän hiihdellä" (Finnish skiing poem by  Eino Leino) feeling to it compared to October!
