Science tells me this: When I walk my heart beats faster, pumping more blood to vital organs including my brain. There's a reason so many writers step away from the keyboard for a walk when they're stuck on something. The physical benefits are well documented: Walking staves off chronic disease, improves bone and joint health and muscle tone and, yes, do enough of it and you can shed a few pounds. There is all of that. But there is also the simple joy of putting one foot in front of the other and taking in everything that's around you at a human pace.

When you're walking you see everything close up. You hear the sounds -- the birds singing, the frogs croaking, and the like. But you also learn the lore of inanimate objects while you make a little on the side: You find pennies, nickels, dimes, even quarters, and, very, very rarely, a half dollar, a denomination that we almost never see these days.

Walking is easier, you can talk while you're doing it with friends and you don't need special trainers to enjoy it either. Because of this, we tend to do it for longer and more regularly than jogging or running. So that in itself is something to consider.

Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life
I have done too many 5K's to count, a couple of 10K's, and two half marathons. I walk more than run and am known to register under an alias, so there is no public record of my time.
