We rode our bikes downtown this morning and walked the Pinellas Trail where it was shaded. The temperature was in the low 80s, and there was almost no breeze.
It was sweltering on our early walk with Toby. We knew we wouldn't have a chance on the causeway.
We were about a mile away from home when Toby finally pooped. Remember, we washed Toby's leash, collar, and harness yesterday after doggie daycare? We forgot to re-attach the poop bag dispenser. So, there we were with nothing to pick up Toby's poop, and he did it right by a homeowner's mailbox in plain sight. There was nothing left to do but empty my treat bag into my pocket and use the treat bag to pick up his poop. So, we had some clean up to do when we got home before we could go for our walk. I re-attached the poop bag dispenser before our next Toby walk. Looking on the bright side, my treat bag dispenser is 23 years old (from the Dexter era) and it needed a good washing.
I've got on another of my new shirts from Beall's. It's a super lightweight, hi-tech shirt, perfect for these summer days.
We noticed this fallen tree on a house off of the Pinellas Trail. John said it looked deliberate. Later, as I drove by on my way to the gym at Weaver Park, I saw the bulldozers dismantling the house. I guess they used the tree to "crack" it open. It will be interesting to see what goes up here.
We took a detour off the Pinellas Trail at Hammock Park to use the restroom and refill our water bottles.
These birds kept moving away from us the closer we got to them until they finally ran out of room and flew to the other side of the tidal pool. The green legs indicate they are adolescent birds.
I finally got a picture of canoes going up Cedar Creek on the outskirts of Hammock Park. It looks like a fun adventure.
After lunch, we had a thunderstorm to move through, so I was delayed an hour getting to the gym. But the sun came out and dried everything up quickly. The rain brought the temperature down to 75 degrees. How many people get to watch sailboats go by while they are at the gym working out?
It soon warmed back up. But there was a 7 mph breeze coming off the sound.
We got burritos for dinner from Juan's Mexican Grill. Toby went along for the ride.
Miles walked: 8.9
Miles biked: 11.85
I love that our shoulders and upper arms have definition from working out. Me with weights and you at the outdoor gym. Amazing.
