Day 13: guest post

Walking residential streets is one of my pleasures, and now a habit.  I used to hate walking, instead taking my bicycle on errands or to visit friends.  Somehow in March 2020 I got the idea of adding an afternoon or evening walk to my daily routine of morning runs, and I am still walking three years later, circling the quiet, safe streets on my nightly outing.   Usually the circuit is uneventful, but occasionally there is a chance encounter - a neighbour, a proffered box of books at the curb, or a nocturnal animal sighting, including of a coyote loping down the road ahead of me last spring.  

Long term mobility and wellness are important, big picture life goals for me.  With them in mind, I intentionally, and now habitually, braid in daily movement outside, using that time as a means to connect with others, with nature or for solo reflection and reconnection with self. xo
