I’ve always enjoyed walking- especially along the beach (year round).
Since my back surgery in December, walking is now classified as “Doctor’s orders”!
Thankfully, I live and work in a very walkable community. Â I can choose between beach, boardwalk, downtown, or bay side locations…and stalk real estate at the same time 😉
Oh, and did I mention the views?
For the last 4+ months (but who’s counting!) my favorite activities have been limited due to an issue with my back.
No kayaking, and only brief beach walks. Â My simple routines before and after work have been on hold.
Thankfully, a solution is in sight!
It will be quiet here (and on Twitter) for a few days as I recuperate, but I am looking forward to boring you once again with beautiful island views by the New Year 🙂
After a busy Thanksgiving weekend, the winter solitude of the island has returned.
Yet the temperatures are still mild…for now!
The 21st Annual Nuns’ Beach Surf Invitational is Saturday, September 17th.
Proceeds help maintain the 79 year old Stone Harbor landmark and summer retreat house for the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Stop by to watch the surfing contest. Â The lovely Sisters will be on hand selling coffee, donuts, and of course, the popular “Nuns’ Beach” apparel!
Good news.
The annual Tim Kerr 7 Mile/5K Race has been rescheduled for NEXT Sunday, September 11th at 8:30am.

It’s been a LONG 3 ½ weeks.
A back injury forced me into survival mode: focusing only on pain management, functioning at work, and now physical therapy.
Extra-curricular activities such as walking on the beach and kayaking are definitely on hold 🙁
And because sitting is uncomfortable, going out to eat is not possible (a SERIOUS problem for someone who does not like to cook!)
One of my sisters works for Staples and ordered me a stand up desk- a practical addition to my office.
Looking forward to getting back on track with blog posts and tweets as I continue to improve!
Reminder-
Tomorrow is the annual Cedar Island 5K Swim. Â The race starts at 5:15pm at the Avalon Yacht Club. Â Swimmers head south along the channel before turning east along the 20th Street waterway, and then north along Ocean Drive and back to the Yacht Club.
Cheer for the swimmers along the way!
And next Sunday, September 4th, the annual Tim Kerr 7 Mile Island Run and 5K Run/Walk at 8:30am.
