Why miss an extra hour of sleep to get up and walk, even if it’s cold and windy?

I think if you ask the walkers who have this level of devotion, they will all say the same thing: “I love it!”

Now the “it” may differ among respondents. Some might enjoy the challenge. Others the scenery. Still others the endorphin high or the walking partner (maybe a dog) or the chance of discovery and surprise or the freedom and spontaneity. The list goes on.

Graham called it the “artist’s joy in creation.”

And once you’ve tasted it, you’ll always want more.
