In early April 2020, as the pandemic began to take a strong hold in Austin, my pal Kirby, a trainer working out of the old-school Hyde Park Gym, texted me with a simple mantra: Stay In Motion. This slogan has grounded me over the past several months as Kim and I embark on weekday early morning walks, covering upwards of 70 miles per month, all originating on foot from our home. Part of this process is purely physical, with the “where” of the walk less important than the step-by-step act. However, depending upon the route taken, some walks are just more engaging than others. Part of the process of staying motivated is finding those routes hidden and lesser traveled, even if just in our neighborhood.
I second Galynn! Inspirational.
Well written and inspiring!
Good read, James.
