Believe me, I did not feel like walking today but I made myself. The shop owners are going to get tired of me appearing there each day. They're just little shops but they are a goal.

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Oh, my dog would be thrilled with a daily walk. She's just a little thing - 10 pounds. We have a doggy door so I don't have to walk her.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Walking is very good for you. In my current role, I walk between 2 - 4 miles a day and it has been a huge part of my weight loss.

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins I really tried to join our walking club on more than one occasion, but it was too fast for me. I decided I enjoyed walking my own way too much and didn't go back. Sometimes when I feel super-motivated I drop in and try them again.
Originally Posted By evilalice I walk 3-4 miles 5 days a week usually takes me 1 1/2. If it's not raining I will walk outside if it is then I go to the gym and hit the treadmill. I get bored looking at the same scenery so I try to find new places to walk so my walking doesnt get dull.
Originally Posted By Mary Poppins I definitely won't be taking my earphones on a walk anymore. Must have my concentration on what's around. I don't know if our large population of homeless is responsible for the recent assault of a young lady. Hard to know what to think. Big city crime is definitely in my suburb.
