Thank you so much!

Alas, it's come to an end. When I set out to write this blog, I figured that I would try to get a full year of walking in, completely uninterrupted. My goals were to show that even a busy person can get out and exercise, and that there's a whole wide world out there to see to keep one's mind active and, itself, exercised. Think about it! I saw better than one bird species per day over the course of nine and a half months. To me, that's amazing.

There are other stats that could be garnered about time walked, the number of states in which I took walks, how many strangers exchanged greetings with me (more than two per day!) and more.

But it's time to move on. I've shut down my Twitter account, and Facebook comes next. I spend enough time in front of the computer as it is, and I have a family I want to make even more room for. I'd like to thank everybody who's commented on, perused or even simply enjoyed the pictures of "Thirty Minutes a Day." I hope you can tell that it's been a thoroughly enjoyable experience for me since day one.

Here's to the walking life! Now get out there and enjoy it.
