more walking, which is distantly related to running

Today Matt and I were going to walk and talk on the phone at the same time, but our schedules were pretty much exactly opposite, so we had to split up the walking. Anyway. I think I really enjoyed my walk. I don't really even remember thinking about the walking as I was doing it, I was just daydreaming about whatever, which I think is a good sign that I enjoyed it. I actually took a mini walk on the beach and a more purposeful walk on the street. During the walk on the street I saw two live crabs and one dead snake! (at first I wrote snack instead of snake. gross). The crabs were little, their bodies were about the size of a quarter, and I was surprised that they were just hanging out on the curb in two different places. The snake was maybe 18 inches long, and nondescript. Well, I say that, but if I were a snake scientist I might disagree. The other day I saw probably a 4 ft long snake that was still alive, smack in the middle of the path to the beach, but the second he caught wind that my Mom and I were headed towards the patch of sun he was lounging in, he quickly bolted for the thick ivy nearby. He didn't want anything to do with us. Since then I've taken to looking for him, but no luck thus far.

Anyway, this isn't supposed to be just my personal wildlife blog. Moral of the story- I liked my walk today and I'm surprisingly looking forward to one tomorrow, as well as maybe some biking. Who knew I'd voluntarily like exercise?
