I go sometime between two and four and have found that the beach is always changing. Sometimes, it is very smooth and hard packed with barely any wave action. Once, it had a lot of shoals and deep tidal pools. Today, it was one tiny dune after another, just enough slope to add a bit more effort.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been listening to podcasts on my iPhone while I walk. I don&#8217;t mind being alone with my thoughts, but like when I was delivering fliers in Lethbridge, having something to listen to gives me added motivation. It also helps me time my walks to make sure I&#8217;m getting at least an hour. Right now, I&#8217;m listening to BBC Radio&#8217;s &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b00lmcxj\">Cabin Pressure<\/a>&#8216; series. I hope the waves are drowning out the sound of my laughter. The series is hilarious!<\/p>\n<p>An episode is 28 minutes, so I when I get to the end of one, I turn around. I start them when I get to a more isolated part of the beach, so I&#8217;m actually getting in a walk that is longer than an hour, having about another ten minutes or so each way to get home from where I stop and start the podcasts.<\/p>\n<p>While I usually resist the urge to collect seashells, I couldn&#8217;t help myself yesterday and brought home proof that Mexico has unicorns:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMGP0591.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1852\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMGP0591-300x96.jpg\" alt=\"IMGP0591\" width=\"300\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMGP0591-300x96.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMGP0591-619x197.jpg 619w, http:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMGP0591.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m trying to make it a habit to go for an hour-long walk on the beach in the afternoon.
