construction along the creek

This week, I walked on Monday, then Wednesday, then yesterday. I'm taking a bus out to Goesan this afternoon, and I'll be in Yeonpoong-myeon this evening, so no walking tonight. My current practice walks, which are merely to build me back up to something like my former self, are only 7K or so in length. I often have chest pains at the beginning of these walks, but when I sit down to rest for about ten minutes and get back up, the pains are gone, and I'm fine as long as I'm not on stairs or a steep incline. (Tomorrow morning's walk is 5K up a hill, but the hill isn't too bad, and I'll be stopping frequently along the way.)

Anyway, the 7K walks I've been doing take me right up to the Han River, then I turn around. Most of the route goes alongside the Tan Creek (탄천/Tancheon), where construction continues apace. They're building some sort of off-ramp, and it's a mystery as to where exactly the ramp is going. Here are some pics from along the Tan Creek route:

Guess I'm not sleeping on that surface.




I wonder if this dirt expanse will turn into something permanent.

the lights of the nearby stadium... with all the shouting and chanting

It's going to be ugly for a while longer.

  1. Ugly or not, it is nice to see your walking photos again.

    Good luck with your morning adventure. Hope you like the distance walkers better in person.
