I ended up walking to work Monday-Wednesday last week, and on Thursday I walked from work (26th and Mad) to 110th and 2nd Ave. It's amazing how much the city changes when you enter the 3 digit streets!...

Last week I also gave my sister my metro card, not sure if I mentioned that before. Going to start saving some mula from all this walking. Yesterday I walked to and from work, and saved myself $4.50! ($2.25 each way). Going to try to get a counter going on these blogs to help you keep monetary track of how much money you save by breaking bad habits. ...

Yesterday, 4/12, was the first day I walked both TO and FROM work. That's over 10 miles in one day. I figured I had a lot to catch up to, since I missed a few days last week due to crappy weather. Did around 5 miles altogether as well today.

I did feel exhausted after yesterday's 10 mile. This morning the wind was very rough, so I didn't go the full route. 

It is important to remember, that you don't want to burn out. Pushing yourself to the limit is fine sometimes, but if you strive for it too often, it may become a burden and a chore.

I was out of work sick yesterday, but luckily it was also the day that Alicja's (Mike's wife) baby wanted to be delivered! Drove her to the hospital, and waited for the little guy to arrive. Did a lot of untracked walking around the hospital with Jason.

Not much else to report! Going bike shopping this weekend with a lady friend. Fun fun! Need wheels soon because my feet can not handle the crazy walking =P

Today I walked 7.25 miles, from work to home! I met up with Mike, who is my business partner, but more importantly a great friend. We walked and talked, and the time flew! Most of the time, it's a lot easier to commit to something like this (walks), if you're doing it with a friend. So far, Mike is a regular walker with me, and Jason (another good friend) has started as well. Tomorrow all three of us will go in to work together.

At certain occasions, I do prefer to do the walks alone - I tend to think and brainstorm very well. Just like driving at night. Your mind is clear, and you are focused. ...
