Do you like to walk? I like to go for a walk everyday. I live in a condo unit that I have to walk to get my mail from the main condo club house. It takes me about 5 minutes if I walk straight there, but I don't. I walk the long way around and it takes me half an hour this way. I like to walk because it's good for you. I also like to walk because I like to see whats going on around me. I like to see what my neighbours are up to. If they are out working in their gardens or flower beds. If they are outside barbequing or just sitting outside enjoying the weather. I also just like to get the fresh air.

Even if it's only over to the shops I always like to go for a walk because it makes you feel alive and blows away all the cobwebs if you stay indoors every day. It is also good for your heart, healthy and to get some fresh air in your lungs. Wrap up warm in the winter. I love this time of the year because the air is fresher and seeing all the trees changing their leaves, Fall is wonderful and why stay indoors when you can see so much whilst walking. I very rarely take the car even if it's a thirty minute walk I much rather walk.

Good for you. It's amazing how many people are just too lazy to walk. I know of people who will take their car to go one block to the store.

Everytime I go out to office or do some shopping, I had to walk a few blocks to get to the bus stop or jeepney stop. I had to walk over 2 overpasses (bridge) too when I have to go to office coz crossing the street is prohibited. Anyway, I like it coz its a form of exercise. But sometimes it makes me feel exhausted walking over the overpass bridge especially after a days work in the office.

I would much rather walk in the morning before I had to work and get tired by the end of the day. But your right, it's good exercise. You've had to walk pretty far by the sounds of it. I don't know if I would want to walk that far. Good for you.

i live in a flat which is a 5 minute (roughly) walk away to school. so, i walk to school everyday and walk back home after. sometimes, after school, i go around the town to walk, see people and get some fresh air. walking everyday is one good exercise for me.

I do walk every day with my son. Every day around 10 o'clock in the morning we go and we return around 11. Sometimes we go out for grocery or just go walk outside. If 1 day we don't go outside, my son will start boring and if he boring, i do get headache :) But if raining, then we don't go walk :(

When it's raining outside I walk on my treadmill. It's kind of boring so I don't like to do it too often. I much rather be outside.

Yes i love walking.
Walking slowly, peicefully,and alone.
Enjoying the quiet of the night, or the silense of myself.
While taking a walk, there comes so much to think about. To oganize the whole day working and study; to remind the smiles on everynoe's faces.

Walking is a great way to start the day or even end the day. I was at one time going walking very regularly with my friend. Then my mom became very ill and now I work full time and take care of her full time and plus my daughter. I had to cut out my time walking. I have always walked alot. I miss it. Hopefully soon, I'll figure out a way to integrate it back into my schedule...still adjusting.

If I have to go shopping or anything I pretty much have to take my car since I live on the countryside and it's just too far to anything, but I do normally go on walks a couple of times a day with my dog. Before I got my dog I was a bit too lazy to just go out on a walk but now that I have him he doesn't really give me a choice and I'm really enjoying the walks now.

I really don't like walking. I drive most everywhere. I had started to walk quite a few places until I hurt my back a while back, so its uncomfortable to walk. Its also cold now that its closer to winter.

I love to walk it is so relaxing and it gets me out of the house. I try to get out at least two times a day.

I am a university student,my class buildings are far away from my dormitory,and I live on the 6th floor,so I have to walk for a long distance everyday.However,it is really good for one's health.
