My Only Post (Probably) About CBWC

 I love seeing all the photos y'all are posting for the Cool Bloggers Walking Club hosted by Elisabeth.  And wanted to join in on the fun but seeing as I get up ridiculously early and get out to walk when it's still pretty much dark, I don't have many photos to share.  But here are a few that I've been able to snap either as the sun is coming up or, on days like today, when I've slept in a bit and got a late start

The best part about getting out so early?
Watching dawn break.

I just happened to look up and caught

Why my walks have been so "crunchy" lately

A perfect specimen

NC Fall in all it's glory.

Seeing as I am still looking for work one would think I'd go out later - but no.  This is something I prefer to get - not "done" with because I do enjoy my walks (even if it is the same route over and over at the local park) - done early enough in the day that I don't feel like my whole day has been wasted or bifurcated.  I go early enough to come home, get showered, dressed and ready for the rest of the day without feeling like I've got a late start.  If I'm lucky, I've walked, showered, dressed, etc. and good to go by 8:30 am.

Now, when the cold comes - and it's coming, I can feel it in my bones without having to look at the calendar, I have a walking pad on standby.  I know it won't be the same as walking outside but I won't have the excuse "it's TOO COLD to walk."  And I'm hoping my recent obsession with audiobooks will offset that.

So even if I'm not posting weekly about CBWC - know that I'm out there walking with you.  But most likely, I'm walking in the dark.

And before you ask, no I'm not uncomfortable walking alone in the wee morning dark.  Shockingly enough, there are plenty of others (regulars I see often) out there stumbling around in the dark that makes it feel quite safe.
