Tip for exercising in the CBD
I have been trying to walk a couple of miles everyday at lunchtime. When I work uptown I go to the park and walk around the front which is about two miles. Lately with the heat, it has been uncomfortable walking in work clothes and I am a mess by the time I get back to work.
I’m in the CBD today, I recently discovered, though it is apparently no secret to many who work downtown that the Super Dome makes a great walking track. At lunch time there are quite a few people lapping the dome. THe nice thing a bout walking around the dome is that you can stay in the shade of the overhang, the other benifit is that quite a bit of air conditioning leaks out of the stadium keeping it a little bit cooler than walking in the park. I have guessed that the walk around the dome is about a half mile. Four trips around and I get my two miles in at lunchtime. It beats hitting the CBD streets where you constantly have to stop for traffic or maneuver around people on the sidewalks.
