I just realized something

[Trevor]

At my age you can't walk nine kilometres (5.5 miles) and not feel it. 

[Alex]

Try walking it every day. After a couple of weeks you won't notice any aches or pains.

Oy: I don't think I'll have legs left

What...you're delivering films by hand now?  😳

That is the first smile I've had all day and it's 5:10pm here 

No, there's a national stayaway today and while I got to work OK this morning, I had to walk home about 2 hours ago  My feets are complaining.

Yeah but how many your age couldn't have done it at all? Well done for not being among them. It's usually not the grand difficult occasional undertakings that keep us in shape, it's moderately challenging physical tasks done as steady routines. That's the mistake people make with gym memberships and a goal to move the world. After you retire, y'oughta find a path or route you enjoy and walk there often. Also did you know light weight lifting drastically cuts colon cancer risks?

A "stayaway" is like a strike?

Whenever I walk for exercise, I go for a half hour which is about 2-3 miles. On vacation I'll often walk many hours in a day and yeah, you can feel it. But to me it doesn't really hurt like other types of over-exercise can, it's more like a healthy, good-tiredness.

Because Kristi has a rather bad case of asthma, I got her to start walking when she first came over. The first summer, she lost 10lbs. She has continued to steadily lose weight, slowly but in a manageable and sustainable manner. Currently, she has set herself a target of walking 7 miles a day. Coming from a culture where driving everywhere is second nature it's been a huge turnaround for her (as I've said before I am selfish. I want Kristi to be around with me for as long as possible, and as part of that I try to encourage healthy habits without forcing them on her as that is just counterproductive).

I'd recommend starting off with something like doing 3 miles a day and work up, you'll be amazed how much it will help your physical and mental health (well as long as you avoid sketchy neighbourhoods). If it is something you are interested in, I'd strongly encourage you to give it a go.

Nothing wrong with waiting a few days before starting though until your feet feel better first.

Aww, thanks.

Yes: one of our unions demanded a stayaway for today in protest at the rising costs of living, gas prices etc. I ask you: how is staying away for one day going to solve anything?

Listening to music helps me.  When I go for walks, if I have my mp3 player with me (Yes, I still use an mp3 player)  It seems I can walk fro quite a ways in what seems to be a very short time. I've actually stopped using it sometimes because I feel it make the experience go by too fast.

I just realized something else: that fart a few minutes ago wasn't just a fart
