| Some of the walkers heading down Taylor Street |
This morning we ladies did around seven miles, with a decent uphill. Usually we travel the opposite direction than in the picture above: we usually head up the extremely steep Taylor Street to descend the more-than-100 stairs, but this time we walked up Mill Street and up the stairs and down Taylor Street. If you're interested in learning more about this walk, here's a link to the Fairhaven Runners and Walkers website about it. It refers to this as a "lung-busting workout." I can attest to that.
Then when I got home I knew that tomorrow is bringing rain, so I went out and spent a couple of hours in my garden. One thing about all this rain is that the ground is nice and soft and pulling dandelions and buttercups is rather satisfying. But now I'm ready to take it easy for awhile.

lung-busting workout. you are such athletes. :)
ReplyDeleteThat walk was a good workout for sure. I admire the determination and ability you have. Well done. You never allow the weather to deter you either. Here's hoping for some sunny days ahead.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a beautiful first day of spring! :)
ReplyDeleteWe did our best to make hay while the sun shines. We spent Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday working in our yard. Thursday we gardened at the Whidbey Cabin. Friday bwe split between home gardening and work in Jill's yard. This morning we finished up the weeding and trimming at Jill's. Now we are beat, and resting for the afternoon before we head out to the Stadium for a Sounders game.
ReplyDeleteWe need the rain so we can get some rest!
Happy Spring!
We've had weather this week which brought over 3' of fresh snow. No more walking for me - it's all about the skis for awhile.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice walk. Hope the rain tomorrow doesn't last all day. It's sunny and cool here in Hawaii with absolutely no rain.
ReplyDeleteAFTER a lung-busting workout you gardened? Such a trooper. An energetic trooper.
ReplyDeleteLoved your snow covered mountains, and am waiting for Autumn to settle in here. Anxiously waiting.
Lovely photo of the snow-capped mountains! Yes, today was an awesome sunny day.
ReplyDeleteI like that sunny picture in the mountains! Back to below freezing here, but it was sunny.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the first day of spring. I would not like all your rain. Of course we only get about 12 in of rain annually.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a fit group. And with such lovely spots to hike. And as always, great photos to share. The lone hemlock in the foreground and mountain behind it is wonderful. Thanks for that. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views on your walks.
ReplyDeleteYou lost me at "lung-busting:))"
ReplyDeleteLove weeding wet soil. Sooo easy. Have a great Spring.
Wow - you and your friends are certainly an energetic group. After that walk, I'd be horizontal and definitely not pulling weeds. Great pictures as always.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's unusual ... our weather here in the Northeast is exactly the same as your weather in the Northwest.
ReplyDeleteThat mount baker image is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteGardening....ugh. Wishing I could say the same, but all we have is mud!! And still some standing water.
We too have had enough rain for a while. LOL
The first day of Spring brought about 2 feet of snow to us. Not to worry, this morning brought sun and warmth and heck; its Mar 22, I can feel the heat even though its only 9:17a.m. The snow is light and fluffy, so will be gone quickly. I am no where near planting anything, haha; I am still shoveling. Have a great day.
ReplyDelete"Lung busting workout"...being of delicate underworked lungs ... Yikes!
ReplyDelete"Lung busting workout" Yikes!
What a glorious day you had. It's been cloudy and drizzly all day here in Hawaii. The Big Island and Maui is really getting hit hard with rain.
