On Sunday, John and I decided to go out on another walking excursion. We originally planned to hike another trail, but on our way there decided to just go to Emerald Isle instead. EI has a nice walking/biking trail that follows parallel to the main road. We parked on the street near the main public beach parking and set off on the trail, not sure how far down we wanted to go.

The path is nice because it includes a lot of shady areas for John…

…As well as some sunshine for me!  My skin was happy to experience some Vitamin D!

We eventually found ourselves at the Bogue Inlet Pier. We had never been on the pier before, so I was excited to walk to the end and take a look at the view.

It was really pretty up there!

I wanted to take a bunch of pictures, but John reminded me that he had work to do at home, so it was time to get walking back.

The round trip was about 4 miles. Hopefully if we keep doing these walking and hiking expeditions, I’ll eventually muster up the motivation and courage to start running again.
