friendship and fitness

Wintertime means walking.  Islanders make exercise dates, head out to the beach or make long circuits through Ocracoke village during these quiet, off-season months.  You walk with your best friends, and make new friends while meandering and talking.  I love taking routes that cut through seldom used paths, skirting yards, and tramping along the marsh.  I enjoy seeing who else walks together, and wonder what I could learn from the conversations they're having!
