I hate those people.
I'm sorry.
The last time it happened was on a date recently and I was made to walk twenty minutes. Twenty minutes in the drizzle. My fiancé is a 'let's walk' person. I'm an Uber girl. I've worked out how much I'm worth per minute and if it costs a lot less than that? It's an Uber.
I'm trying to be more like them though.  |

Drizzle! Nobody mentioned drizzle.
If I don't have a hood on my coat I'm not walking anywhere in drizzle unless it's home to wash my hair |

I've passed my love of walking down to my daughters.
My son prefers to drive or catch a taxi.
I can't walk miles any more but I still enjoy it.
I think it's something you become accustomed to as you grow up. |

I know. Drizzle is awful, you've got the right idea. He was really sweet but I eyerolled when he said that I suit my hair curly and should keep it like that. A hour spent on blowdrying. Twenty minutes of a date and it's ruined.
Not even in the good way. |

"I don't do walking, I need coaxing with snacks
I used to take a cookie to pick my son up from school to distract him from the walking  "
A cookie would work....Where we going? |

I worked as a fitness instructor for twenty odd years whilst married, and then with kids.
We visited many cities and I remember going to Rome when my ex wife was in her early forties and she carried a fold up stool, as she needed to rest periodically.
The kids and her would constantly be moaning!
When we broke up, I met "Fallen Angel", who was also a marathon runner.
She had one of those fitness tracker watches.
We went to Venice, Verona, Florence and Rome and we were walking 15-18 miles a day! |

This was looking back with hindsight why my last relationship probably never have worked longterm ... I walk, love exploring and even my kids (now adults), we'll all walk 20 miles a day happily, unfortunately he didn't like walking period |

"I AM that person
What time in the morning was it when you asked me to walk you up the road? You are that person, for sure.
 "
3am? I suppose I could just take a taxi but honestly, I just wanted you to hold my hand while we were walking. |

Venice is the best place to get wonderfully lost, closely followed by Old Town Delhi!
I've just checked your profile, and would you believe that I'm a Carnegie?
Unfortunately, I'm not related to that rich bloke! |

I resent paying over the odds for taxis but it does depend on how badly my shoes are hurting after a night out. You can get these little fold up shoes now though that fit in your clutch bag, so provided I have those I can speed walk a mile ok
I do tend to attract the after hours odd bods though so a taxi is the more sensible option when I’m alone…! |

Living where I do out in the sticks means I have to drive - the nearest corner shop is 5 miles away, the nearest supermarket 12 miles away. But, when I get home and it's a nice day, like today, I'll put my shorts on and go for a stride around the farm tracks. Just did a short walk this afternoon of 2.5 miles. |

And I’d do it again, without a moment’s hesitation.
