I walk everywhere within a couple of miles. Other than that I take the bus. Walking has been my salvation this last year and I’d miss it terribly if the time ever came when I couldn’t do it. Glad I’m not the only one.

Wow, you walk a lot. That’s great. I probably would too if I worked from home- ah the perks… But I’m with you on the running. I used to be an addict but have learned that there are far better ways to treat my body besides pounding the pavement via running. Although, a good run really does help clear my thoughts! Or invite them in, whichever.

I love to walk. The meditative powers of walking really make it so desirable for me. Oftentimes I don’t even consider walking as exercise because I enjoy it so much!

I think that the technical term for what I am is “lazy bum”. In 2008 I went to the gym almost every day for 40m on the elliptical, but then I had my ongoing foot issues where I could only walk and I’m having a really hard time convincing myself to get back into exercise. Help needed…

love the paleo/primal philosophy. Still quite the runner, but am careful of the pace/HR. And must avoid all the pavement!

I used to be a runner, and killed my knees and hips while doing it. Now, I am actually more of a biker. I always think about walking, and then think, well, a bike would get me there faster. Walking is great if you have company though.

Now, hiking? I could do that every single day.

I have never been a runner, though I do wish I could do it more – even just to know what the runner high means. BUt invariably something starts hurting soon into a run. One of my goals this year is to get fitted for new running shoes and give it a go again. I am hopeful things will be easier now that I have lost weight (though, even when I was anywhere close to this weight before, running was a challenge).

That said, I am such a walker. I walk to work everyday (about a 10 minute walk) and used to walk to work when it was a 30 minute walk. I love walking. Living in downtown Washington, DC makes that easier – we walk everywhere. Even if I run more this year, I will still be a walker.

I’m definitely a walker also, but that’s partially because I never was really into running. I played soccer for years and years, so when I run with a purpose (i.e. to get a soccer ball) I am content, but I just cannot run for running’s sake, it bores the heck out of me! haha. So I walk a lot and I love hiking, and I’ll bike ride for miles on end. I still feel like I should enjoy running more than I do, probably just because everyone else seems to

Definitely a walker, what with strollers and baby carriers, etc. Hard to believe I ran cross country in high school.

While not going sugar-free, I am trying to cut back on sugar a lot now that the holidays are over. The first few days were rough!
