Freedom Activity.

I'm actually mindboggled at people for whom it's so difficult to do, since the alternative to me is pretty sickening to think about. Sitting around your dwelling for 12 hours is something I would not be able to do, even if it was an activity I enjoy. I've played video games, made maps, watched marathons of movies or TV shows often before on my days off, but I always take a break after a few hours to go around the neighborhood because I just can't stand still that long. Plus my neighborhood is awesome to walk in, especially in fall and spring when the sun sets.

Seriously walking for 30 minutes is far more tolerable than watching baseball for 12 hours.

Horrible activity. Much prefer biking. I'm a very impatient person.

I always like to walk anywhere that's up to 45 minutes away. Walking feels awesome. Especially in the morning.

I love it, although not quite so much as strolling.

Wouldn't that be a type of walking?

Anyway, I agree pretty much 100% with BRTD, for once.

Do you have me on ignore? It was me. It is a good activity for people to do, obviously, but I prefer to get around via bicycle. Walking is just so pedantic.

I know it's odd for a 300lb man to say it, but I quite like taking a stroll, especially down at the Point and it's practically the only way to go when you're in the Southside.

I also don't drive so sometimes walking is necessary.

She actually hates walking. She runs to keep fit, but strangely hates walking. I think probably has something to do with wearing heels or something.

Depends on the season. FA, but not in winter.

BRTD, I completely agree with you and enjoy walking. Sometimes when I'm bored on a night or weekend, I'll just go walk around for a few hours. It helps clear my mind and helps me focus. There's something that just feels good about getting outside and doing something. I also like to go on walks right before bed where I'll say my prayers walking around instead of just sitting in my room (the reason I mention this is because Bushie should try it...). It helps me to focus and clear my head. Taking a walk on a nice, crisp day makes me feel alive. Taking a walk in the winter in the snow is also really quaint. I prefer being able to walk most of the places I routinely go and walked into campus this morning because I could since it's only 2.5 miles. I like living in a walkable neighborhood. I'm also a runner, so it should be no surprise I like walking as well.

Really enjoy it, one of the things I miss the most about working in Manhattan (although Midtown would be even better than where I was)
