Working and Walking
I begin my new job at Upton's in a couple of days so today, Saturday, I decided to time my planned walking route to the work site. I know I can cover 1 mile in approximately 20 minutes and the route appears to be ~3 miles, so I guessed that the walk would take 1 hour which means I should leave the condo at 7:45am, giving myself a 15 minute cushion to account for unknown variables which would cause delay. Today's walk took 63 minutes walked at a leisurely pace. I walked down Grand the majority of the way, on the walk back I decided to try quieter streets and was pleasantly surprised how much better the walk was due to lower traffic and reduced noise levels. A large portion of the walk back was on Hubbard and I discovered a large number of murals (50+) painted on a long railway overpass which is 1 mile in length. I plan to make photos of some of these murals and post them here, many of them are quite stunning and beautiful.
