I walk the dog a few miles but not on a regular schedule. I often stop my run a good distance from home and enjoy the walk back to cool down. I'd guess the most walking I've done is any time we visit Disney and clock about 10 miles each day.

I really enjoy walking ...especially in the evenings. Often times, the hubs and I will take an evening stroll just to catch up on our day and re-connect after being apart all day.<br /><br />It's no secret that I've been slacking on my running due to the heat and humidity...but you've inspired me to get out this week and at least get a nice brisk walk in every morning! Thanks for the push Kim!! findingfabulousatfiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386356418087346612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-21775382957078681182017-08-05T20:35:24.267-05:002017-08-05T20:35:24.267-05:00It's unfortunate so many take walking for gran...It's unfortunate so many take walking for granted...it's really a great form of exercise if you allow it to be.
