The Gyms Are Empty, So Where Do People Go?

[Razors Edge ★]

In my neck of the woods, it's more people out walking, hiking, and cycling.  Kids are all over the place as well.  It's almost like the 70s/80s with kids running around and playing all over.

Looks like Phil noticed too:

I'm confident at least 35% of outdoor enthusiasts will respect the 6 ft. clearance.  'Cause they really care about/treasure their outdoor excursions and health.

I follow him, and his podcast.  I can't say I've seen more than usual ootside, but I don't do gyms as you know did however see more than usual ootside a few days ago.

Gyms are empty here because they are closed.  I was two months into lifting again, too.  

People here can walk, that is pretty much it if they don't have a bike (like me).  It blows to be stuck anywhere about now.

Some of the major bike routes in Vancouver are clocking in over 3,000 cyclists at the bike counters each day this wk. ( according to dearie..)

However in the summer....this can climb to 4,000 cyclists daily in past few yrs. My preference is always go earlier in day. Early morning is lovely and beautiful, quiet. A lot less cyclists and joggers.

Even in Vancouver, there is ample space around you. You just have to know which routes. The harder part is using public washrooms...then to exercise hygiene habits.

I haven’t been anywhere this year. I had the jump on the stand down order.

My wife and I walked 4 miles with our 6 year old daughter today on the bike path.

Let's see.  The 'Y' closed until who knows when.  The beaches have been closed off.  Curfew from 11:00PM to 7:00AM.  You can get takeouts until 2:45AM at one bar/restaurant.  No public consumption of alcohol (cups or cans included)/   Some say it was to curb the spring break crowd.  Needless to say the island looks all but deserted, so biking is a lot safer right now than anything else, apparently.  I do have s set of dumbbells that I could do some basic lifting with, if I get the urge.  And the island IGA still has stocked shelves and plenty of PBR on hand.  ;-)

The two gyms (weights and treadmills) in the luxury complex I moved into on Mar. 10 have been closed.  There's a huge outdoor swimming pool I hope I'll be able to use this summer.  I was thinking of walking Jake in a park on Tuesday (finally dry weather and 57°) but the ground is too wet.  The end of this week and all of next week look good - mostly dry and highs around 60°.
