walking anyone?

I haven't been walking much, of late, for three primary reasons: 1) the wedding's over, 2) I lost my walking buddy a few months back, and 3) I just haven't had the discipline. Aside from the discipline, the greatest motivator for me to walk regularly has been having a friend to walk with. A walking pal not only offers companionship while (and distraction from) walking, she/he provides accountability. If I say I'm going to be there at 8am, then I will be there at 8am. Left to my own devices, I'd probably sleep in. Plus, having a friend to walk with can offer the structure and routine with which I thrive. (This need for accountability and structure extends to many areas of my life, not surprisingly.)

So, with all that in mind, here's my dream. I'm just going to put it out there and see what the universe gives me. I want a buddy who will walk with me for 30-45 min. for 3-5 mornings a week. Where we walk doesn't matter so much. What's important to me is the regularity. (And I guess it goes without saying that my buddy needs to be in the Santa Barbara area.)

Any takers?
