I've always been a "come early to work" kind of gal ever since my first job at the swimming pool. Even after all these years my coworkers from the previous shift always find it necessary to comment on my early arrival. I leave early on purpose to avoid traffic and have some time to relax before work. In the Spring, Summer, and early Fall before it gets dark; I like to take walks around the campus and arboretum before starting my 12 shift.
University of Washington Medical Center just so happens to be right next to the oceanography building and right on the ship canal. A few days ago as I was walking by this is what I saw:
After watching the fish for awhile I decided to pick up the pace a little on my walking a get some exercise to help we muster up enough energy for the night ahead. They say taking the stairs in a great way to get exercise but it's 10 times more fun outside and next to water. I call this the "Stress Test":
I've certainly noticed a difference how I alert I am during the shift and even my attitude toward working on days when I have a nice walk and days that I don't. I'm thankful that I work at a place that is so interesting to walk around.

You're always welcome to come over and walk with me whenever I go down to the post office or the craft store! I always have lots of coupons for the craft store.
