Just got back from my 2.5 mile walk on this beautiful windy, no humidity 65 degree day. Almost lost my baseball hat at one point.
I am not dipping any toes into the Anclote river woman! Gators might think they’re chicken nuggets. Yes we are lucky we can walk on several beaches near us although my daily walks don’t take me near any bodies of water unless I detour down to the boat ramp in my subdivision. I have always lived along the East Coast and am very glad to be on Gulf side of this state too. But I would take lakes and streams manmade or not.
I remember walking near the Atlantic Ocean in Long Island in the middle of winter with the kids when they were young. The first day I retired 8 years ago my fam and I went and walked Clearwater beach with our morning coffee ...so liberating...couldn’t believe I wasn’t stuck in an office on a gorgeous May Day.
Sun is out, doors are open, AC is off! Woot woot.

Impressive and sounds like a near perfect day for your 2.5 mile walk, @imallears! Belly laugh at your gators & toes as chicken nuggets!
Marriage introduced me to mtns, tent camping, and river stream trout fishing treks. All so new and grand memory producers! Later came the higher challenge, excitement and fun of snow mobiles, ice fishing, skiing, ice skating and smelt runs in MN.
As appreciative as I am of those wonderfully remembered experiences, Nothing beat the exhilaration that retirement brought with its supreme luxury of "retiring" the daily work day sound of the early morning alarm clock!
No idea the steps or distance covered as I'm out ignoring very cold fingers while digging/transplanting new plant beauties and carting buckets and more buckets of cleared weeds from front to back dumpster but my achy back and hands can testify at the end of these days that yard momma's 5-6 hrs/day has been in constant motion!
Yay to those of us where the sun is out, AC's not yet on, and the outdoors beckons!
