I have several things and walking is definitely one of them. Here are 10 reasons I like walking:
10: Less gas to buy. Sure Weston works for big oil, but there are enough people buying oil without our help! (It's expensive up here in AK!)
9: No parking: parallel or otherwise, I like not having to park which brings me too...
8: No finding lost parked car! Blame lack of sleep, or distracting kids, I can rarely walk strait to my car out of a store when I do drive.
7. It lets me use my stroller. My double stroller is really great, but it really shines outside.
6. It gets me outside! Basically, if I don't get outside, I go crazy. Crazy Em = Bad Em
5. Its low impact. While I throw in a run here and there, (and I'm trying to run more) walking is so low impact, I never have sore knees when I'm done.
4. I can wear whatever I already have on! Sandals, jeans, skirts, nice knits, button-ups, t-shirts. It's comfy to walk in just about anything
3. The kids love it (most of the time) Especially if I throw in a trip to the park, which I often do.
2. Its low stress. Actually De-stressing would be more like it, driving gets me all wound up--no bueno.
1. IT JUST FEELS GOOD.
Amen to all of your reasons - #6 is my favorite because I have a hard time picturing you as Bad Em but it's fun to try. I love living in Provo right now so I can walk everywhere (school, library, work, church) and Matthew has to drive to work, internships, and school... Also, walking when it rains is kind of my favorite thing ever. Also, I love lists and I love that you started a blog!! Remember how we used to write letters with pictures to fill the empty space? So fun to read the "Em" voice again :)
