Photography Now & Then #129
I use the track more than anything else at the gym. That’s a fairly recent development. Up until a couple of months ago, I spent most of my time on the elliptical machines, recumbent bikes and stair machines. Then I started to mix in a bit of walking and found that, after all the time spent on the those machines, it was a struggle to walk for very long.
Today, I did 10,885 steps before lunch, according to the health app on my phone. Most of those were on this track. The app also recorded the distance as 5.4 miles.
It’s a good thing I’ve always enjoyed walking. We’re planning to do some hiking this summer and fall.

In the Eastern world, the monkeys are often associated with being of good mind, speech and action or not dwelling on evil thoughts. In the West, the characters often used to refer to a lack of moral responsibility on the part of people who refuse to acknowledge impropriety, looking the other way or feigning ignorance. (Wikipedia)
