Today I tested a cool iphone/Ipad app IMapMyHike which is one of the many types of workouts available in IMapMyFitness.com. It downloads the distance, time, elevation, route of my hike. This is my hike for today:
Duration: 37 minutes
Distance: 1.97 miles
Pace: 19.32 mins/mile
Elevation: starting: 27 feet Maximum elevation: 43 feet
Speed: 3.1 miles/hour
The coolest thing, by far about this app is that it gives me a 3D flyover video from Google maps of my actual route which unfortunately I’m unable to embed in this blog.
Interestingly, on this walk I passed by a house that has alugbati (Filipino spinach)
Katumbal (chili) plant
Amargoso/ampalaya (bitter melon) with fruit hanging from the vine. On the ground is lemongrass (tangglad) and up above is a banana tree with fruit clusters,
and a papaya tree….all in the backyard. The inevitable conclusion is that this is a house inhabited by a Filipino.
On the way back this fruit-laden tree intrigued me. What fruit? edible or not?
You tell me.
This was the beautiful sunset that greeted me on my way to the house.
