Walking is one of my favorite pass times!  The others are reading and crochet so it is certainly more likely to help my fitness!

I can walk forever on the flat and have, on vacation, gotten in more than 10 miles/day.  However, if you add a hill, then my ability goes down significantly.

For the UM program, I am planning on walking at a sort-of close by city park with has a very nice mix of hills and flat.  It is about 2.25 miles for the circle and runs along the river.  Lots of birds to watch!  At one time, I had this path fairly well under my belt and could get a good speed going but after I sprained my knee a little in a weight-training class, I'm back to square one.

For rainy days (like today), I have my own treadmill and love to use it while watching Sherlock Holmes or Charlie Chan movies.  Wish I could read while I'm on the treadmill but it makes gives me motion sickness!

Well, lunch is over, I've digested it for a while, so it's on the treadmill with Charlie Chan!
