Ow. That’s the short form.
The long form: I walked an 10.6 mile (17km) loop this morning, encompassing a large chunk of that parts of Boston’s “Emerald Necklance” I hadn’t previously walked. Here's a map, as recorded by "My Tracks," an Android app I used. It uses your phone GPS to create a moment-by-moment map of your peregrinations, and than can turn the track into a Google Map like this: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=207316946626375813067.0004c20c99f8b55e14629 (I've been trying different apps to help me log my exercise. My Tracks is nice because it not only logs where you went, but tracks time, distance, overall speed (including whatever stops along the way, such as when I stop to take a photo) and moving speed (ie your walking pace); plus elevation changes, and such. It's pretty slick, and it's free. http://www.google.com/mobile/mytracks/ )It was another great walk, with an amazing amount of "urban wild," such as this Black-Crowned Night Heron that posed for me:
I'll process and post the rest of the pix soon. But now, I need to put my feet up. 10.6 miles is a lot, for this geezer. :)
Oh, I like it when someone makes me look up a word! Peregrination. I thought that was when a falcon broke its wing and had to walk....
ReplyDeleteOh,you are not far from where I went to school (Forsyth School for Dental Hygienists...almost next door to the Museum of Fine Arts) Not sure it's still that dental hygiene school as it has joined a larger group of Health Care Colleges but I do have fond memories of the area.
