Five mile walk yesterday. The day before was nasty and rainy so I got in a 30-minute Peloton class, the equivalent of an 8-mile bike ride, so I’d say that counts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2119192 Fri, 08 May 2020 01:50:35 +0000 JAileen 2119192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s where we were today, out birding. It was a little south of us. &nbsp;The little pond had some nice birds, but across the road was the only spot in the state for a tri color blackbird. &nbsp;And we saw one! &nbsp;By this pond, though, was a yellow headed blackbird, one of my favorites. &nbsp;Besides their beautiful coloring, their call has been described as a screen door needing oil. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2119133 Thu, 07 May 2020 23:09:16 +0000 Sal 2119133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going okay - I find my phone erratic at measuring too Bijou!!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I have walked or ran 5km each day since Sunday.&nbsp; Plus 15-20 min yoga as a mini challenge.&nbsp; I am trying to get into a small daily practice.</p> <p>Thanks for the motivation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118955 Thu, 07 May 2020 10:16:54 +0000 anchie 2118955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful pictures. Love seeing everyone’s environments. Want to share mine from this morning walk with my DD in our neighborhood. It was strangely quiet. Before, the river bank was constantly lined with cruise ships 3 boats deep like in the second photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118699 Wed, 06 May 2020 14:05:19 +0000 Bijou 2118699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been relying on my apple phone, but noticed sometimes it does not register the steps. Which is probably a good thing because it makes me walk further. Love the photos! It has been cold and wet, so harder to take any decent photos, but great to finally get some rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118561 Tue, 05 May 2020 21:02:39 +0000 Janet 2118561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday, an 8 mile bike ride and a 3 mile walk. </p> <p>Today a 5 mile hike (including the equivalent of 67 flights of stairs). </p> <p>Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be ugly so I may have to get in my activity in the form of a peloton ride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118369 Mon, 04 May 2020 22:55:04 +0000 Anonymous 2118369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the pics, but you all make me feel lazy in comparison! I'm just hiking about half hour at lunch time, and biking when the wind isn't too bad- but just about 15 miles max so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118173 Sun, 03 May 2020 15:31:47 +0000 Angie 2118173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijou</b>, YES. I've heard that :)</p> <p>Loving the pics, ladies. Soothing and hopeful somehow.&nbsp;</p> <p>I walked 6 miles (10km) on Saturday, and 7.6 miles (12.6km)&nbsp;<b></b>on Friday. The joys of wearing an Apple watch and having a doggie you need to walk several times a day when you live in a loft!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118111 Sun, 03 May 2020 00:58:17 +0000 Janet 2118111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think I explicitly said I’ll take the challenge, but I will! </p> <p>- Yesterday I walked about 3.5 miles. Not a super active day.<br /> - Today I biked 20 miles and walked another 3.5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118093 Sat, 02 May 2020 23:22:59 +0000 anne 2118093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pictures of our beautiful park!<br /> I am going to join you for the challenge. At least if I can average it out over the week. I have noticed how much my step count is down, recently, despite keeping up my running.<br /> Did about 7km yesterday to kick off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118087 Sat, 02 May 2020 22:20:07 +0000 Sal 2118087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx Bijou! Lovely photos of Perth. I visited your lovely city on 13/9/01 or two days after September 11 and after the collapse of Ansett. A weird day to fly there seeing all the Ansett fleet parked up. A weird day to fly full stop!</p> <p>I will join in with the caveat I might bike instead but at least 15. I missed yesterday but biked about 35 Friday and walked 8 today. I was a lazy bones yesterday!!</p> <p>Here are some pics near me. Most are near our river. The fern is the Silver Fern. The shed was on my rural bike ride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118070 Sat, 02 May 2020 20:25:45 +0000 Style Fan 2118070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pictures, Bijou and Janet.&nbsp; So great to see pictures from all over the world.<br />I will accept the challenge but some days I will opt-out.&nbsp; I am not always up to doing much.&nbsp; When I do walk I walk 5 km easily. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118050 Sat, 02 May 2020 17:34:49 +0000 slim cat 2118050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a beautiful pictures,&nbsp;<b>Janet.&nbsp;</b>Lovely views and cute white ducks . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2118006 Sat, 02 May 2020 12:46:42 +0000 Janet 2118006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a beautiful area — thank you so much for sharing pics! I would so love to visit there someday. </p> <p>My walks look quite different, obviously. But I have been mostly very good about walking (a little running) at least 5k everyday, most days more like 5 miles. </p> <p>Yesterday I was feeling the cabin fever and decided to drive over the Bay Bridge, which connects us to the more remote and less populated eastern shore of Maryland. I wandered around a bit, driving roads I typically ride on my bike. Then I took a 3.5 mile walk on the paved trail in the area. </p> <p>1 Road ducks! Apparently they like it there — one of the residents told me they’re known as the Three Amigos. </p> <p>2 Crab pots, freshly painted and ready for the season. Used for catching the famous Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. Mmmmm.</p> <p>3-5 Along the paved trail.</p> <p>6 Driving home, I stopped to stock up on our favorite locally-made peanut butter at a nearby deli, and then stopped in downtown Annapolis to pick up a treat — carry-out fish and chips from our favorite Irish pub. It’s barely a block away from the state house, which is quite abuzz with news vans since our governor is making national headlines — for a good reason. He’s been making waves, advocating for strong ongoing social distancing tactics in the pandemic, and he secured half a million testing kits and millions of masks for healthcare providers, from South Korea. This bridge is always a favorite of mine — it crosses a beautiful wide river on the way into the city, next to the US Naval Academy. I used to train for my half marathons running over that bridge and can still remember how I felt the first time I ran all the way up — it’s a long hill and feels like a mile long until you get used to it, and it’s often windy! It was a rare moment — there were only two cars on the whole bridge, and the other one was my car’s exact twin (which is rare in itself — I think I could count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen my exact car, including color, in the nearly three years I’ve owned it — I had pulled up behind them at a stop light, and the other driver rolled down his window and waved at me, so I guess he hasn’t seen many either!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2117987 Sat, 02 May 2020 10:20:18 +0000 Bijou 2117987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b> - we have a great variety of birds in Australia. My favourite are the black cockatoos and Willie Wagtails which are also plentiful in this park. Kookaburras are very inquisitive and like to steal food from BBQs, so we have to be careful that they stick to their natural diet.</p> <p><b>Slim Cat &amp; Kathie</b> - it sounds like you are both sorted on the exercise front - 2.5 hours of walking is a lot. I am missing being able to go to my gym, so need some additional exercise.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - Southern Australia is very similar to South Africa in terms of climate. Jacaranda trees are very popular here as are many South African plants. Many South African families have emigrated to Australia.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2117877 Fri, 01 May 2020 16:45:43 +0000 Angie 2117877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p></p> <p>I loved looking at your pics. Serene and calming. Remind me a bit of South Africa.</p> <p></p> <p><b></b>I walk at least 5 miles a day already thanks to Sam, so I will join you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2117870 Fri, 01 May 2020 16:20:50 +0000 Kathie 2117870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous photos! I’m in for a 5km/day walking challenge- I’m actually aiming for 8km/day, at least 5 days/week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2117861 Fri, 01 May 2020 15:18:53 +0000 slim cat 2117861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful pictures. Love botanical gardens.<br />Can't do running challenge - however I'm doing walking one ( 1.5 hours of walking with a goal of 2-2.5 hours of daily walks ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2117838 Fri, 01 May 2020 14:02:15 +0000 JAileen 2117838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, these pictures are lovely. &nbsp;I’ve never been to Australia so I’ve never seen a kookaburra. &nbsp;Apparently, it’s a tree kingfisher which is bigger than our belted kingfisher. I love seeing kingfishers. &nbsp;They have a loud call when they fly along the river. &nbsp;Seeing one is like finding an Easter egg. &nbsp;I hope when this is all settled, that we can visit Australia.</p> <p>I’m going to pass on the running challenge. &nbsp;I have been riding my bicycle, now that it’s nice. &nbsp;I have two routes, both kind of short, but with hills, and of course at over 4500 feet in elevation. I’ve improved my stamina, and definitely feel better. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-janet-and-jaileen#post-2117831 Fri, 01 May 2020 13:29:54 +0000 Bijou 2117831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by both Janets photos of nature I thought I would share my daily walk. I live in an inner city suburb that is on the edge of a 400 hectare or 1,000 acre botanical garden which sits just up from our central business district on the edge of our river. I love this park and often walk my dogs here.</p> <p>For Janet Aileen - photo of a Kookaburra. This bird has a call like a laugh. I have some living near me and at sunrise and sunset they give their call.</p> <p>For Janet - some snaps of my walk. Grass trees or Xanthorrhoea, banksia tree flowers are like candles are native and common trees in Western Australia. Snaps from my walk - looking from the park to the city and at the Swan River.</p> <p>Last photo is my gym that is still closed, I am amazed at how much I have missed it!</p> <p>I have accepted a May challenge to run or walk 5kms a day, so anyone on YLF want to join the challenge? </p>
