Probably preaching to the choir here

And if walking to stay still on a treadmill is uplifting, just imagine what walking around properly in the fresh air would do for people!

Hey!

I just came here to post that link!

I'm finding that the combination of walking, fresh air, and sunshine is simply a magic elixer. If I don't get enough of the elixer in a given day I get really grouchy!

thanks,
David
