I have been hitting the ocean boardwalk each afternoon to get in a two mile walk or 3 mile bike ride. I had forgotten how crisp the ocean air was! The sand, waves, sun, breeze is all so beautiful in the late afternoon. I have a walking/riding buddy-another retired teacher- who walks or rides twice a day, but I can only muster up enough interest once a day. Besides, her first walk is at 7:30a.m. and I am trying not to be out of bed at that time!
In February we are going to Israel, and the tour leader suggested we begin walking now, so we are ready to go on those long hikes through the Holy Land. Jay helped me select some new "trail" shoes that will be good for uneven surfaces. They are not all worn out like my other tennis shoes, so they have nice cushion inside. I am trying to do the 10,000 steps a day, and I almost make it sometimes. Days when I am at the computer...I'm lucky to get 2,000! Tonight I am going to the YMCA to work with my trainer, so I know I'll get in the 10,000 today :)
Funny how living at the beach we sometimes take for granted the beauty in our front yard. Whether I walk at the ocean or ride around the bay, it is so awesome to live by the water.
