walking and thinking

A headline passed by on the PhysNews.org feed, which I meant to clip at the time, but didn't. I don't think it was this one, but that's close enough, and I can't find the one I thought I saw.

Point being... that walking improves brain connectivity and function, which was a realization I came to over the past year while I had at least two (if not four) ten minute walks as part of my daily commuting routine.

That time I spent walking, I also spent thinking, and plotting, and working out plot wrinkles, and composing drafts (which I haven't had time to type, mind you, but they're still drafted) of stories. It was a good habit, and one I will miss now that my commute is changing (for the better!). I'll just have to find time to work in the walks for another reason...

...Yeah, still considering the replacement puppy dog, too, although not seriously yet.
