Captain's Log: 03212008 Day #18 of 30 Total Walk Time: 1hour 45 minutes
I say Ye gads walking to the grocery store mainly because unless you live in a metro city with good public transportation, most of us in suburb type living drive to the grocery store even if it is only down the street. Remember the movie LA Story? I went to a Safeway that was 1.75 miles one way, so that gave me a good 3.50 mile walk.
In the store, I heard some really beautiful bird singing, and thought how cool it was that Safeway was piping in bird sounds. It's so Zen. But then I saw a real bird fly by me, and swoop up to the ceiling. Here he is pearched at the top singing his heart out. More likely he was chirping, "How the hell do I get out of this place? Can someone help a brotha out?!"
I almost turned around during my walk because the wind was blowing somewhere around 25 mph and it's still slightly chilly. I was not liking the wind but it wasn't that bad just kinda annoying. But then I got to thinking of some of you who have been training for your 10ks and half marathons running in the snow and sleet, and I thought, "Damn, I'm being some California whimp. Toughen up, and take the wind." So I did, and it was only slightly challenging getting to the store. Coming back was a breeze because the wind was pushing me from behind.
I had a really good walk, and am glad I went. It's still hitting me that Spring is here. I still feel like New Year's was last week. Man how time flies! One on the songs I listened to on the iPod was "The Funeral" by Band of Horses. You've heard this song on all kinds of TV shows and commercials. Recently, the song was on an episode of NUMB3RS where the hot FBI guys save a kidnapped reporter. Love this song! Get it on
