We do occasionally have air quality alert days during summer, but not often. Right now we are getting some smoke haze from wildfires up in Canada drifting down into our area, some days more than others.

However, I do enjoy hiking in the mountains a lot! So, I might not walk every day but once I walk I'll go for hours ;)Novrozhttp://bokunosekai.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-16249068772383633842015-07-13T12:14:54.842-05:002015-07-13T12:14:54.842-05:00Alice: I'm glad walking has proved so benefici...<b>Alice:</b> I'm glad walking has proved so beneficial for you. So long as you're aware of your surroundings while listening to your music. I usually have some song playing in my head anyway that I don't need the added distraction of "real" music, LOL. I also like knowing if someone is coming up behind me.<br /><br /><b>Colleen:</b> It only takes me about a minute to walk to my mail box and back, LOL. <br /><br /><b>Lea:</b> Yay, another walker. I think the most I've walked in one day is around 10 miles, and that was last autumn.

You would not have enjoyed my walk last night -- it was so humid I was already sweating after walking the three blocks to the bike path, never mind at the end of an hour plus. I slacked off my normal pace and refilled my water bottle twice. The shower after felt SOOOO good!<br /><br /><b>Ron.:</b> You slay me. Really. *snicker*<br /><br /><b>Mia:</b> We're getting to that time of year when I have to sometimes force myself to walk in the evenings. Last night for instance, when it was hot and sticky. Loved seeing that the small yellow cone flowers with their showy droopy petals had bloomed since Tuesday, but hated the humidity. Not nearly as many people out as Tuesday night.

The most walking I have ever done in one day was 5 miles.

I can't STAND to get hot and sweaty. But to add insult to injury, my stupid foot is rebelling against me.<br /><br />BUT, I really enjoyed all these facts. And as soon as my foot gets over itself and the temps cool back down I'll be back out there pounding the sidewalks. :)Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497608180842403825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-70805247417660515922015-07-09T14:54:22.605-05:002015-07-09T14:54:22.605-05:00Mittens: Nice to have validation, isn't it? *G...<b>Mittens:</b> Nice to have validation, isn't it? *G*Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17700809709293636333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-83031660373932295292015-07-09T14:50:55.261-05:002015-07-09T14:50:55.261-05:00Nice to know this stuff, Heather.

After surgery I could only manage two minutes before it made me sick but with physical therapy have worked my way up to 15 before I have to stop. Very slow progress but I keep working on it.CountryDewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243893531509380824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-19564686028268300012015-07-09T11:21:46.529-05:002015-07-09T11:21:46.529-05:00Thanks, Beth!

I actually walked to the Capitol Square for last night's concert, a distance of about 4 miles many would balk at.
