Ready....Set....Go.....Walking!

Sand Dollar Shell
Another goal I had in mind for when I retired was to get active. Those who adopt that crazy mindset "Living to Work" rather than "Working to Live" will understand. I didn't allow enough time for exercise and when I found the time, I was too tired and just couldn't make myself get into an active living style. Although I have a dreadmill (treadmill) and do a mile or two here and there, it wasn't enough and I knew it. And....to top it off, there are just certain things I'm good at, procrastination when it comes to exercise just happens to be one of them, more so as I got older.

Brenda, Pam, Sue, Kay Myrtle Beach Walkers
Hence, when I got to Myrtle this February, I was more than eager to accept the offer of a few ladies here at the condo to walk with them daily at 8 AM each morning. When the tide is low, we walk along the beach and when the tide is high, we walk along the sidewalk on Ocean Blvd. It works out to be just over 3 miles a day at a pretty good clip. They say it takes 21 days to create the habit and I'm half way there!

Thank you Brenda, Pam, Pat, Kay! Not only that, I've learned a lot from you all about the various trees and shells in Myrtle as well. A great little collection is underway for Charlie. And, as I type this entry, I have a sand-dollar soaking in a bit of bleach to add to the ever growing collection.
