to have walked to the park every wednesday this month! :D Our playgroup is meeting at a park near our home this month and I have walked there, well home from there every time!

DH has dropped us off there in the morning and about 4-5 hrs later :lol: we walk home. It is close by car but it takes me about 35-45 minutes to get home depending on how I go. I feel so good walking, using my own two feet! I am saving gas, exercising and showing my family that we don't need to depend on a car to get from A-B. The grocery store isn't far from the park so it is doable too!

I am just tickled pink to be walking places! :lol:

that's great!

thank you julie! I think so too ;)

i'm impressed! :) i long to be able to walk places. hopefully, if we have to rent an apartment (rather than a house), we will be able to live somewhere within walking distance of places we need to go.

i will be totally excited for the day i have consistently walked to do something too!!

i think it is a perfect distance actually. so many ppl that I have tlaked to hear thing it is a rediculousy long distance to walk, especially with kiddos (even though they are in a troller/sling)

That is awesome! Good for you.

i just found out today that there is a walking trail to the park near our house. i had NO IDEA!! it's a rather long walk if you follow the roads but dh seems to think it's only about a 20 minute walk if i cut through the path. i will walk it with him first to make sure i can handle it with the double stroller and then i'm going to copy you ashley!

yeah! You will love it Julie and so will the kiddos! wehave discovered so much and Olivia now LOVES to go and see what new things we will discover!

my kids are a LOAD to push in the stroller...the stroller is about 35 lbs, jackson 34 lbs and savannah 42 lbs...so hopefully it's not too hilly!

think of it as a terrific back of the arm and thigh workout. you will be lookign HAWT after a few trips pushing them!

is that a guarantee? sweet!

it will be hilly there jules, but it's not too bad! (you are talking about memorial park, right?) maybe you can let the kids run a little bit in the uphill areas?

Olivia walks and rides as her mood suits her. be prepared for the walk to take a long time if they walk! there is soooo much to see below our hip level! ;)

that's a nice trail. i do remember it being a little hilly though:)

Our community is lacking consistency with sidewalks, so walking is not an option I feel comfortable with here. The other end of our city is full of sidewalks in the subdivisions. I'm a bit jealous as we do not have good biking areas here either--too many wackos speed on these roads.
