Go Outside and Walk!
Yeah, that’s right! I’m telling you, not asking! Go outside and walk!
Listen, I have been one of the most sedentary people on the face of the earth in my lifetime. A lover of TV and snacks galore, I fell victim to bad moods, sluggishness and lethargy. But then, I found this amazing place: Outside! It’s free and no reservations necessary. What’s more, you can go there whenever you like. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night impinges on the hours of operation Outside! It’s always open and available.

This is so true. I do it (almost) everyday during lunch. Leave the cell phone behind — take the Ipod/MP3 and listen to music or inspirational “whatever” of your choice it’s therapeutic!
It’s SO true. Camille and I did this while in Charlotte last week on vacation. We walked a greenway that Kusawn had directed us to. One mile and a half in, and one mile and a half on the way back out. Beautiful nature to look at along the way. We were able to smile and greet other folk on the path, watch children play and ride bikes and we met some cute doggies too. I definitely want to do it more often.
Amen! Amen! Amen!
I’m traveling alot but looking forward to the adventure of finding a new trail to take on during the weekend.
i usually walk on my elliptical or when i go to the park. i need to go for a walk in my neighborhood. i will look for a safe place today, this weekend.
A nice cozy trail to walk and explore.
It was well into the evening. The house was empty, dark, quiet and still (by choice). Rather than assuage my racing thoughts with coffee or red wine, I got up, put my flipflops on, went outside and walked!
