i claim this bridge in the name of all couch potatoes

Perhaps I didn't set my goal high enough...
Perhaps I underestimated my stamina...
Perhaps I exaggerated how hard it would be...

Because yesterday, I walked over the Seabreeze Bridge! And I didn't stop there, oh no! I walked TO the beach, and DOWN the beach...

and UNDER the pier, and DOWN the beach some more (just over 5 miles in total). It took me a little more than 2 hours - once I hit the beach, I slowed down quite a bit to enjoy myself :)

It was a beautiful day - almost 80° with a nice breeze. As I stood in the ice-cold water, I realized something:

I NEED A PEDICURE.

Not as much as I need a job, but still.

On the south side of the pier, I was able to walk to a sand bar without getting my shorts (or cel phone or camera) wet.

It was very cool - and very cold - to be out that far and only up to my ankles in water.

And now, this morning, I read in the news paper that there were more right whales in Daytona Beach. And I missed them :(
