Ginger, I totally agree about the ocean! I’m an ocean person (trapped in the midwest, haha!), having grown up on the east coast, literally down the street from the water.

I am thinking the poster’s issue about “through the end of the year” may be weather, i.e., winter related. I have the same issue. I live in a great location for walking BUT having had back and neck surgeries and being older now 😢, I will not walk if it’s slippery out. I wish I could just go to a gym for limited use in winter. But they don’t allow memberships like that. Argh.
