Today's weather continued along a similar path today. It was raining when we got up and now at 5:11 pm it still is. However, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday are when I take a walk uptown for an hour's worth of exercise.
I put on a rain coat, put on my headphones, and headed up the hill.
Today, I walked up Fourth Street. On the other side of Tipperary Park, some of the houses have remarkable landscaping. Recently, I've noticed many pricey homes are forgoing traditional grassy lawns. It surely makes sense to plant endemic plants and throw away the old lawn mover. A weedwhacker surely won't take as much room in the garage, although a number of these houses rely on on-street parking.
Today's little hike took an hour and seven minutes but totaled only 4.52 km. The benefit I'm more keen on checking was Fitbit's #494 today. An extra 400-500 calories burned on my walks may eventually result in some positive benefits.
When approaching our building near Carnarvon Street from Fourth, I noticed we have one less parking space across the street from our buildings. We now have a dedicated space for electric LIME shared bikes. The company has them waiting all over town now. How convenient to zip around on an errand rather than the hassle of getting out the car.
