Once again, I'm walking at my favorite place.

This is the Atlantic Ocean that you hear.

I'm in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

This is where we live.

Our house is actually two miles from the beach.

We don't come here every day.

I talked about this earlier the summer,

about the fitness friction,

all the stuff that I have to do

to do the thing that I promised myself

I would do, the fitness activity.

And so that fitness friction keeps me from coming here every day.

But when I do come here, I absolutely love it.

One of the things about walking along the ocean that is just powerful for me,

it's calming to something about the water and the waves.

It's calming.

There are days when I don't have a ton of stress in my life,

but there are days when I feel the stress,

and I'll hop on my bike, throw a little beach bag,

I've got a basket on the back of my bike.

And I've got a ready bag.

It's for the beach.
