Though I do the treadmill regularly even if it is 9:15 at night I squeeze in at least 20 minutes so I feel like I did something.Kelly Polarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968381456100611120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-47788483768011604792013-05-30T09:27:35.021-04:002013-05-30T09:27:35.021-04:00I prefer to walk than run, always have.

The body needs it. <br /><br />I like the fact that you have natural hills to run/walk on. I live in FLAT Chicago. I wish I had that option ... not to mention the beauty. Your senses get a workout too!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and joining the HOP!Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-7683032840026088912013-05-30T02:46:15.712-04:002013-05-30T02:46:15.712-04:00I'm afraid more time has made me less focused....I'm afraid more time has made me less focused.

I used to run on the stairs when I was short of time or the weather was bad, but I had to stop doing this when I injured my ankle. Apparently running on stairs is not a good idea, according to my physiotherapist.
