How far would you be willing to walk one-way if you did not have to?

I walk from my house in to the city from time to time just for the fun of it. I guessed it was about four miles, until the first time took a lot longer than I thought it would. Turned out it’s six miles, but I still enjoy the walk. Other than all the garbage dumbasses throw out of their cars.

Oh i’m like the guy fron kung fu, I basically walk the earth. Sure driving’s more convenient but a good walk never harmed anyone.

I’m okay with walking 10 miles as long as time isn’t a factor.

I walk all the time just for the sheer enjoyment of it. Now that the weather is nice I will jog to the health club…kinda silly not to!

I live 1.1 miles from work. I would walk it (or ride a bike) if.. ; 1) I didn’t wake up so incredibly late and close to start time that even driving I’m a few minutes late. 2) There wasn’t a highway overpass with no sidewalks along the path. 3) If the weather was a bit more consistent/not crappy (its ok right now, but 8 months out of the year its awful).

I’ll bike just about anywhere. Unfortunately, right now, even though I like only about 5 miles from work, biking’s impossible because there’s a 400 foot elevation change (and all the climbing would be on the way home!) and several very dangerous freeway onramps and offramps with no provisions for bikes at all. :>(

On the other hand, the nearest store is 1.3 miles away- a nice walk- and it’s only about 3 miles by bike to some other stores.

Usually about 10–20 blocks, I’m not sure what that translates to in miles. That’s only if I don’t have anywhere to be. If I’m on my way to work, I like to sleep in until the very last moment possible, then I eat breakfast in the car while I’m driving there. I’m so not a morning person, so I’m not going to get up early for a nice leisurely walk to work. My last job was about 10 blocks from the metro and I used to walk there all the time on my way home. Usually any time I have to take a bus around that distance, I just skip it and walk.

A couple of miles in a sunny or overcast day.

I walk about 4 miles a day as it is and could do alot more,I’m sure.

I do not walk much here. Mainly because there are no sidewalks and the roads are narrow. Walking involves me pushing a stroller and the lack of sidewalks make me nervous as people use our streets as a way to get off of the backed up main road. I do not have a distance I will or won’t walk. We used to do volksmarches a lot when I was a teenager.

Pretty far. A few miles. I like walking and hiking. Our grocery store is only a couple of blocks away. As long as it’s not raining/icy out, I’ll walk there or to the post office.

Probably like a quarter mile. I get out of breath easily. And no, I’m not a lard ass, I’ve always been like this, even when I was an athlete.

Oh, man. We talk about this a lot. When I visit family in the US they are amazed that I’m willing to walk to the store when they wouldn’t think if it and get in their cars. I have a shopping centre that is 20 minutes straight uphill from where I live. It’s not a paved road or a sidewalk. It’s 10 minutes of muddy shortcuts straight up the subdivision and then through a block of woods and a farmers field. My other option is a small village 4km with a dedicated walkway/bike path. I make both trips, on foot, regularly, regardless of the weather. We have a saying here in Norway. ‘Ikke dårlige været, bare dårlige klær.’ (loosely translated… ‘No such thing as bad weather, only bad dressing for the weather.’

I have no idea in miles/kilometres/whatever. But I really don’t mind walking anywhere unless it’s raining/freezing/sweltering and I don’t have too much to carry. Living downtown in a huge city will do that to you.

I could easily walk the 3 miles into town if I had a safe road to walk on. The state route we live on is very busy and not safe to walk. There are no sidewalks, just farmland.

Now put me in a state park or some other hiking destination and I could walk all day!

Where I live? Nowhere if I don’t have to in the Spring or Summer months. In the Winter months then I have no problem walking a mile if it’s in a protected neighborhood.

Depends on the weather and depends where I am. I walk about 2 miles with neighbors 3 times a week just around the neigborhood.

I can’t really walk to any shopping where I live, but if I drive to a shopping area, I will walk about half a mile or so each way. There is a major shopping area with a mall, and across the street Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, Target, and others, and I am know to just park one place and walk to the others, winds up being a lot of walking. Not to mention if I have shopping to do in the mall, that can be another ½ mile to mile.

When I lived in an apartment for a short time in FL I almost always walked to the grocery store about a quarter mile each way. One vening my husband came home and asked where my car was. I said, “outside.” He said, “no it’s not.” He has had his car stolen before, and so have many people we know (it happens a lot in FL) so he is always paranoid. We walked outside, and indeed I did not see my car. He was freaking, pacing, babbling. I kept telling him to let me think. Then it dawned on me, I had run an errand and then driven over to the supermarket on the way home. When I walked out of the market I just walked right home, like I typically do, and left the car at the store. He stayed pissed at me for a while. No sense of humor for these things.

When I am in NYC I walk a lot. Easily 5 miles a day. Sometimes I could take a bus to get over to the subway, but decide to walk to the subway, or just walk in general.

Personally, I take great enjoyment in walking, for it really eases my mind and gives me a lot of time to ponder things on my own. It’s actually insanely disappointing that I can’t walk as much as I could because in the suburbia I live in there aren’t any satisfying wooded areas or a city..:\

It depends on the weather, and whether I have a limited amount of time to get to where I’m going. I will often walk 2 miles out of my commute home instead of taking the bus, but I wouldn’t do it in the dark, in the rain, or if I was in a hurry (I wouldn’t walk 2 miles there for instance – I would rather get up half an hour later and catch the bus). I also wouldn’t walk that far with shopping – I often walk to the supermarket (1.5 miles) but get the bus home.

On a nice day with no baggage and no rush, I would say 2 to 2.5 miles is my limit.
