justducky I prefer walking and the health benifits are greater (walking is easier on your joints). I go out of my way to walk as much as possible and then set goals for myself such as a marathon. Hook up with others doing the same and you've got built in support.

abednego7 @abednego7 (1060) • Philippines 19 Feb 07
