I hear walking is good for you etc. YA! Ok fine. But I have an issue. First and foremost I'm a couch potato outside of a trip to Walmart. I find it odd though a trip to Walmart,the mall or even all weekend at a themepark I'm FINE! Even NYC I was fine! Yet I can barely last 5 min. walking 1/2 mile to pick up my sister at the school down the road!!!! <br /> <br />Yet this past Sat/Sun we went to 2 Disney theme parks and while yes my feet were tired I wasn't. Why is it that a 1/2 mile walk is tiring yet Disney/Walmart/the mall isn't? BTW the 1/2 mile is on a road and uneven so I have to watch my feet since I do have a bad knee. I just find it odd places where I walked WAY MORE than 1/2 mile I'm not tired.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
