Why You Should Feel Guilty You’re Not Walking

Well maybe not… but a bit of guilt might get me out and walk­ing again so it would be a good thing.

I actu­ally find walk­ing very enjoy­able. I just don’t have much free time to do it. But look at all the health benefits!

The Perks of Walk­ing [info­graphic] | Daily Info­graphic
Mostly because I was too cheap to take a bus and kept get­ting lost , I did an insane amount of walk­ing at South by South West today. I trot­ted across down­town sev­eral times in my trusty cow­boy boots, …

    I hate walk­ing. So bor­ing. I’d rather go cycling.
    The occa­sional walk to the local shops is ok, but long walks for exer­cise, I just hate it.

    I walk to and from work, about 3 miles per day round trip.

    +Steve War­ren Wish I could, but it’s a 140mile round trip. Might take a while.….

    I already do feel guilty. And when­ever I go for a walk, I’m won­der why the hell I don’t do it more often!

    I can’t just walk, way too bor­ing. I’ve got to run!

    That makes no sense to me. It’s essen­tially the same thing. Same trip. One should not be inher­ently more inter­est­ing than the other.

    I under­stad +Car­o­line Papreck com­pletely. If I run or cycle along the same route, it’s a lot more enjoy­able for me.

    I’d rather run for 1/2 hour than walk for an hour! Also, run­ning really gets my mind clear whereas when I’m walk­ing I get eas­ily dis­tracted and bored.

    Well the point of the walk isn’t to get there quickly. Or even to actu­ally get there. It’s the jour­ney and the thoughts on the journey.

    I can’t stand forc­ing myself to slow down. It is relax­ing for some peo­ple, but it makes me insane!

    Ah.. but I’m not forc­ing myself to slow down. My aver­age walk­ing speed is 4mph. I’m forc­ing myself to go as fast as I can.

    I love walk­ing. I hardly ever get a chance to lis­ten to all the hun­dreds of pod­casts that build up. Walk­ing is the only oppor­tu­nity I get. I have to say my favourite pod­cast at the moment is the Bugle. It used to be the Lon­don Times online pod­cast but when Rupert Mur­doch was being heav­ily ques­tioned about the phone hack­ing scan­dal they used it as a source of highly irrev­er­ent humour for weeks on end. I think the New York Times made men­tion of the fact it was hard to believe they man­aged to stay employed by the times for so long. Of course the wheels of power move slowly and they were cut even­tu­ally. They sup­port them­selves by dona­tions now. They really do make a walk an incred­i­bly enter­tain­ing affair although I do tend to get a lot of strange looks from peo­ple when I keep burst­ing out in rau­cous laughter.

    i HATE run­ning and jog­ging, but i usu­ally walk at a very quick speed. its a lot more enjoy­able now with a child because she points every­thing out and gets excited. one of us takes her on a walk daily, and now that we have more day­light to work with, we will go as a fam­ily much more often.
