My idea of fun is going for long walks

I can walk for hours without sitting down or taking a break. I like taking in the scenery, feeling the warmth of the sun, seeing people. There might be interesting smells to take in. At a given time there might be 30 different sounds. Perhaps some days I've walked 15 miles. I would imagine that on a number of occasions I've walked until my feet have hurt.

I remember just a few years ago when I enjoyed walking for long periods of time as well. It was always fun to see how the town changes from day to day, and just see what's going on.

But ever since 2020 I've lost my liking for long walks, and I've been depressed and not feeling active at all for the past three years.

@Bri89 Because of covid? And how the world changed? You could change. Lift yourself up. Start walking short distances. A few minutes. Notice nature. Your depression is slowly killing you. Please try. Or get professional help. Live life again.

Is this the new Sneaker Ads?

@Sarasmiles Haha... not saying I have any sneakers, but my shoes have been coming apart! (Not naming any specific brand.) I don't think advertisers would like a story like that about sneakers.

I'm with you on that. I feel something similar....when I go for a walk I rarely get tired...I just keep going and going it seems.
I experience the change in temp, all of the outdoor smells and sights when I ride my motorcycle too.
I love being out in nature

@Midlifemale I intend to get a motorbike license soon. Looks like it's much cheaper on petrol... and also like fun.

Nothing like a walk or a hike to recharge. It is great exercise. Nature is free therapy for your troubles. Do you bike?

Andrew19EightyFive · 36-40, M

@PoetryNEmotion I used to, but I don't bike anymore. I think there was something wrong with my bike and that it was hard to ride. I guess something was out of alignment. Unless I'm mistaken it was eventually given away. Lately I'm more interested in getting a motorbike license than getting another bike.

Something similar...

Perhaps a bit longer than your 15 miles round trip.

One of my favorite things is long walks too.

Andrew19EightyFive · 36-40, M

@Scribbles I don't believe I'll ever get tired of it.

Scribbles · 36-40, F

@Andrew19EightyFive Same. It's the best. I've gotten into cycling recently too. But walking is better.

It's been a while, since I went for a long walk.
