I first took up walking as a means of escape. After a busy morning in my office, I found it refreshing to take a stroll at lunchtime, to breathe the fresh air and feel the sun. Another walk in the cool night air was, I discovered, an exhilarating way to unwind.
I'll never forget the feeling I got one cold night as I walked the deserted streets after many grueling hours at the hospital. I suddenly realized that I no, longer felt tense of tired. All my worries about my patients' illnesses, as well as my own personal cares, seemed to evaporate as quickly as the smoky vapor of my breath in the frosty night.
As I incorporated walking into my schedule, not only were my spirits lifted, but my weight and blood pressure were gradually reduced.
