I’ll join! I walk my dog most days, minimum one mile. He’s a little guy and I’m lucky to be in a rural area ( for 2 years), with a walkable road, little traffic. We have 6 acres but I only walk that a bit except in Fall. Also I lead nature walks for about 23 years at a State nature preserve. ( was a mile from my home but now is a 20 mile drive one way). I’ve cut back on the tours because of the driving distance. But one a month I lead a Senior Stroll limited to people over 50. Have one tomorrow and Saturday will be leading another tour. We walk for about an hour and I talk about what we see in the woods. There are parks near my home now but some do not allow dogs, so I’m hesitant to walk alone now that I’m nearly 77. Movement helps with my osteoarthritis but sometimes I have to skip a day of walking. I used to do x-country skiing and snowshoeing but it’s difficult now.
