Bridge Walk


Sunday morning I met two friends for a walk over the downtown bridge – a popular spot with walkers, joggers, and cyclists. The bridge is exactly one mile from end to end and it’s the only “hill” in the area. I was a little nervous the night before because I wasn’t sure if I was “in shape” enough to manage the walk. I was afraid that I wouldn’t make it back over the bridge. But the incline is so gradual that I really didn’t notice it.

The morning was beautiful with glorious weather, good conversation, and breathtaking views. I really enjoyed myself. I had never walked the bridge before since it’s a little out of the way from my house. But now that I’ve experienced this special treat I plan on dragging my Sweetie back there. Soon.

Note: I apologize for the smudgy photo. I think I had suntan goop on my phone.

Is there anywhere in your town where you can go for an out-of-the-ordinary walk?

That would be Sooo much fun! Great picture! I'm lucky enough to live on the border of one of our state parks. The dog and I can hit a trail for a good brisk walk. Then weather and water temperature permitting, Zoey (dog) can go for a swim or chase stones in the lake

I have a friend who used to walk that bridge every day from Bird Key to downtown and back. She lost a lot of weight, and talked about it incessantly. Then she quit walking, and now she's plump again. She doesn't talk about THAT for some reason.
