I had to walk to pick up my car at the hospital yesterday with my young daughter, and it was a 1.5 mile walk. It was pretty easy, and my daughter had a lot of fun. But a lot of people wouldn’t have attempted it because they would think a 30 minute walk is nuts.

It ended up being a great walk and way better than using a cab to retrieve our car. I had hemmed and hawed for awhile about how to get the car back, looking into car seat options in a cab, the bus, asking a friend for a ride, and then I looked it up and realized it was a safe, 1.5 mile walk.

There are so many advantages to being active and fit. One of them is that it makes your world seem smaller and more accessible.
