Al for an excellent article on running.<BR/><BR/>Lisa is on her way to winning a trophy, guaranteed, if she follows Tim’s advice.<BR/><BR/>Lest we forget that these guys know – like the backs of their hands – how to perform to the max, just about every day we get free advice from one of our favorite blog sites: Charlie Mike!!<BR/><BR/>As a long-time runner myself, and a bad walker (don’t throw anything at the screen; I will explain below), I only wish I were 20 years younger so I could challenge Tim in an upcoming marathon.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, note that walking can be varied, just as running is. In other words, you can run a fast ¼ mile at a super-high intensity level, or jog a whole mile at low intensity. Hiking or climbing could be extremely intense, of course. Walking fast, obviously, can also be intense. It is a fantastic exercise, although, as Tim points out, it is totally different than running.<BR/><BR/>Walking is particularly suited for girls. Do not, repeat NOT, throw anything at your computer or curse me. <BR/><BR/>Walking is particularly suited to women. I am referring to fast walking, power walking or speed walking – whatever you care to call it when people clearly are not just ambling or strolling down the street or through the park. They are exercising, and doing so intently and sometimes intensely.<BR/><BR/>Before anybody calls me a sexist, right-wing throw back kook who should be shot, let me explain myself. Walking suits women because they LOOK natural walking. It has to do with culture.<BR/><BR/>Do not misunderstand me.<BR/><BR/>Guys have the same muscles and can gain the same benefits from walking, but, well, I guess I am going off on another one of those infamous, uninteresting rants, aren’t I?<BR/><BR/>Sorry.<BR/><BR/>I’ll finish with this: The sheriff of our little town took up walking a few years ago. He walked daily, and I mean aggressively, quick and with purpose – and quit after a few weeks. Why? I personally think it is because it just doesn’t look manly.<BR/><BR/>Am I small minded?<BR/><BR/>Don’t be so serious. I am only expressing my opinion. Walking is especially suited for girls, many of whom can probably beat me up by the way (and may actually do so if I don’t quit typing).<BR/><BR/>Have a lovely weekend, brothers and sisters.Joe G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03836593204346420521noreply@blogger.com
