Walking in San Diego, CA. An uphill battle.
My wife and I enjoy walking when we're home in MI. The time alone gives us an opportunity to talk, to reflect on the day and connect with one another. The combination of sunshine, fresh air and companionship helps us stay balanced.
Whenever we travel, we like to continue our walks and take in some different scenery.
Recently we were in San Diego, CA visiting my Dad. He lives on the eastern side of town with a lot of hills and mountains in the area and Dad just happens to live on a small mountain. When we go walking, it's an uphill battle to get from point A to point B. Even when we're walking down the hill, we have to walk at a slight angle so as not to fall forward too much in our stride. We've found different routes to take. If we just do an around the block up and down walk, it's like interval training. First we get the uphill stress, then the downhill cool down.
This is the street going up on an angle.
You can see from this picture how the street behind Dads house is much lower than his property. And at a steep angle.
In this picture, notice how the roof line is level with the street.
Here's a picture going down hill with a mountain in the background.
Here's a picture of Cowle's mountain. We've climbed this before. That's going to be the next story.
Walking is good for the mind, body and soul. Get out and go for a walk today.
See how refreshed you'll feel when you get back. Enjoy the day.
