Geek Habitat

Yesterday, I mentioned our desire for Justin and I to resume a routine of walking together for exercise. Today, we resumed that tradition with a 2.4 mile walk together at Bullis County Park in northeast San Antonio. Despite all my walking these past 12 weeks, Justin has absolutely no trouble keeping pace with me. In fact, due to all the talking we were doing, I had a little trouble keeping up with him at times — I’m not used to talking during my solo exercise walks (though I’m sure that would be entertaining to my fellow exercise walkers on the trails! ;))

Despite Justin’s long, hectic days at work, we have both wanted to resume these walks — primarily for exercise, but also to enjoy unhindered time together, free of (for the most part) telephone calls and other distractions. I have to admit the latter aspect is especially nice, since I have the luxury of doing exercise walks during weekdays due to the nature of my work in our small business. For instance, earlier today, I walked 2.6 miles myself at Baumberger Nature Preserve and the Leon Creek Greenbelt. With Justin’s help, that means I achieved my personal goal of 5 miles walked today.

Walking is nice. Walking with a loved one is nicer!

It’s late and I’m starting to doze off, otherwise I might muse a bit on the nature of conversation and the other couples and families one passes on walking trails. That will have to be another entry, at another time.
