@jk No we do not walk outside. Our rural community has no sidewalks or street lights, and we like to walk first thing in the morning. So we both use the treadmill. I walk first and then start prepping for lunch as he walks. It's helped us both. He had his first yearly heart check last week and got a good report. His cardiologist told him to keep walking. I have my endo appointment in a couple of weeks, so I hope he tells me I'm good to go too. We also walk our stairs since we live in a two story house. That is still hard for me, but I'm working at it. I made up my mind that exercise is necessary, and that's all it took. Once I make up my mind, I'm stubborn.
I hope you have a wonderful time in Denver.
Carol

@retiredteacher Your neighborhood sounds similar to mine -- no streetlights, no sidewalks. I have not walked outside much but do hope to in better weather. Our street is a side street so not too much traffic, and there are many walkers. My town also has a number of walking paths that I might try out. One is by the Merrimack River which runs through NH, and it's closed part of the year because that's when the bald eagles are nesting with their little ones, so they do not want them disturbed. There's a lot of wildlife here, which does concern me a bit if I am walking on an isolated trail. People see bears, lots of fox, and recently a lot of bobcats.
