I consider walk to be one of the best exercises and I walk a couple of miles about 4 days a week.

In high school I did nothing. Once God taught me (instead of my parents), I did 10 miles a day in college. Today, at age 68, I still do about 3.5 a day. Walking is a life changer, not only for the body, but for the spirit. We are created to walk, just like we are created to praise God.

I love walking and exploring, it's one of my favorite things to do. I don't do it a lot though because I don't have a lot of time.

I walk for a break at work. Everyplace I've worked I know ever place one can walk withing about 25 mins of work. I know the roads and the trails in any woods that are nearby.

I also love hiking in the woods, which are about a half hour drive away. I started walking a couple of miles at work every other day and it really is helping me health wise; need to lose about 50lbs.

I am blessed to live in the San francisco area. There's a variety of walks/hikes from urban hikes to deep forest. I used to hike alone. I'm not so fearless anymore.

I'm planning to hike two of the hardest mtn hikes in the north East, Mt. Washington and Katahdin. To prepare I need to do more than walk. So I've been running. I think its something about the extra energy in each step or the pounding my legs and feet take that help prepare my legs for what they are going to have to do to climb close to 4000 feet vertical and 10 or more miles to complete each hike in one day. Last night I ran 5 miles in just over an hour.
