Jeanway 0 Posted April 23, 2004 I find a walk is very soothing. I just took a walk after sitting here for hours and hours. The fresh air, the spring flowers, the birds,my neighbors. I walked past a park and sat on the swing and just enjoyed the heck out of it. You see things you don't even notice when you drive. I like to walk around my neighborhood, it just gives you a different perspective on things. B) Do you take walks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valeris 2 Posted April 23, 2004 I lived near a lake, and there is a three mile walking trail around it. I often walk there. It has been really hot here though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vulcan IDIC 0 Posted April 24, 2004 I love to get out and walk, especially in the early evening when it's still light outside and theirs a nice summer breeze blowing. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted April 24, 2004 I like to walk and I love evenings - when I lived in other areas I loved to walk in the evening. Here if Florida I find mornings are better - it's hard to breathe when the air is so thick you cut it with a knife. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nik 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Yes, in the middle of the night when nobody else is out. I also like to run. I get up before the sun rises and run so that I can be alone, clear the head, and watch the sun. Good time to meditate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I walked around in some of the areas here in the middle of the night I'd better be wearing an Invisibility Cloak and carrying an AK-47 B) nik Edited April 24, 2004 by Jeanway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fenriz275 0 Posted April 24, 2004 I used to go for walks when I lived out in the country, I liked to climb up to the top of the hills and look out over the valley. Very peaceful. Now that I live in town the dairy mart on the corner doesn't make for the best scenery. Once in a while I go to Iroquois park and climb to the top of the hill there, you can see most of the city from there, have to watch out for the crackdealers though.

Ace 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Back home, I loved to walk around our small neighborhood in the evening and late at night. Nothin' beats the sound of a breeze rustling through the trees and a few crickets chirping. A few neighborhood friends and I walked around after dark almost every night just talking and hanging out. I miss it now since walking around the downtown of a city isn't as much fun for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyra_Ashleigh 0 Posted April 24, 2004 I used to be a late-nigth walker. I'd take off around 8pm and come home after midnight. It's really neat to walk around at night time. Very refreshing. But at some point the neighborhood started going downhill so I stopped walking. Now I like to go out in the mid-afternoon, weather permitting and walk around local parks. I like to go to a different park every day, so I'll hop in the car with my water bottle and find a place I haven't been for a while. I was hoping to go out today in fact, but we had a mini-monsoon and that was enough to keep me in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeanway 0 Posted April 24, 2004 I don't like taking a walk, indoors, like at the Y or the Health Club. It's so fake. I know there are people who actually ' walk the Mall' here. Before it opens for the day, they are given badges and can run/walk the hallways, I guess that would be ok if it were snowing or really cold out B) But I might just keep stopping and look in the store windows, seems kind of counter-productive :blink: could you just imagine 'HERDS' of running people in there, makes me laugh just thinking about it, how ridiculous. Good time for a robber to get lost in the RUNNING crowd, makes for a good get-away, I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have to change to meet other people and have a good time. Edited April 24, 2004 by Odie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
