June 28 Morning Walk Log

Steps for this morning.

Another morning at Magic Island got me walking around for a few thousand steps before I headed back to Ala Moana Center and then home.

The weather forecast for Honolulu today: Light to moderate trades will hold in place through Tuesday, with localized land and sea breezes developing in the more sheltered leeward areas. Moisture will move through today and again on Tuesday, bringing a slight increase in showers to both windward and leeward areas. – NOAA Honolulu Twitter post.

So essentially it will be a typical sunny summer day. Have a great week folks!

Can you see the waning gibbous moon?

 

Walking Early is Great for a Good Sunrise Shot

Sunrise Morning June 27

Mornings at Honolulu’s Ala Moana Park is very popular for walkers, beachgoers, surfers, swimmers and more. With the easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we are more free to walk around without a mask.

On today’s walk, I took for the first time my new Google Pixel 4a smartphone which features a very nice camera for both still photos and video. Plus I installed my Pedometer app that I used for several years with my previous smartphone.

Pedometer app window

It shows how many steps and miles I walked in a specified time.

The Pedometer app works just fine on the new device. It is a good, casual tool that I use to track my walking steps, distance and burned calories. While I am not that diligent with all the measurements the app takes, it does present a good snapshot of my walking activity for the morning or any other part of  the day.

There certainly are better health apps out there, but for me I am content with this simple one. Attached is a screenshot of the Pedometer results window for the morning.

More photos and the video from the walk appear on my Hawaii Files Blog page. https://blog.hawaiifiles.com/?p=3303 #Honolulu#Hawaii#sunrise#Pixel4a
