Walking is much more peaceful. i do not mind walking through town. and if it truly is necessary for me to go out of town im sure i can find some to wait on me for a day.

 There is nothing wrong with walking. I love it. Don't worry what others think. Buy a small pedometer which counts your steps as you walk and you could always tell people you do it for health and fitness if it makes you feel better.

Who cares if people think its strange that you walk through town to get where you need to be? I completely agree with Caring Guy!

I basically walk everyone - and I even have a driving license. Who cares what other people think? You're probably healthier than them, and you probably have a better time. I tend to find driving stressful because of traffic jams and all that. I don't think there's anything strange about walking anywhere, especially since man has done it since the dawn of time. Dont' worry about anyone else.

It might've taken them forever to get from A to B, but necessity dictated that they used the legs God gave them! We'd do well to remember that; little children love to walk, it's only as we get older that we grow lazy and start to put convenience first more often than not. There's nothing wrong at all with what you're doing. There are so many health benefits associated with walking and it allows you to be more in touch with your surroundings somehow. As long as it doesn't become obsessive - you're not planning to walk the 50 miles from your home to college, right? :P - there's no reason why you shouldn't keep it up. Your body will thank you for it in the long run... I bet you'll still be lacing up your walking shoes when you're 90 while everyone else has forgotten how to put one foot in front of the other! Good luck and take care :)
