Why I Started To Walk Everyday – And What Happened When I Stopped

So started my daily walking which became an adventure in itself. Whatever the weather I was out there, sloshing through rainstorms, getting up to watch the sun rise or just ambling around my local park. For a whole year, I got out every day. I began to experience the seasons in a whole new way with winter shooting up the list to become my favorite time of year: the calm gray tones, the long morning shadows, the frost-encrusted grasses–so much more interesting than the flat, bright light of summer!    The more I walked the better I felt. Not just physically but emotionally too. Peaceful, joyful, happy, and uber-fit: that’s what walking every day brought me.
