A was a kid, school was a bore, it was like George Washington over and over again every year. So one day I'm at Broad and Erie with my kid brother supposedly on our way to the H Bus and school. I decided to cut school but part of the lie was that I lost my token and had to walk home, which at that time was at 7th and Girard. I walked from Broad and Erie to 7th and Girard. It was during THIS walk that I discovered that I LOVED walking and also discovered what a walkable city Philly is. I've been walking ever since. Once while I was living in North Jersey I awoke to hear on 1010 WINS that the high temperature was going to be 17 degrees. I put on an extra layer of long johns took the train to the Villiage and walked to Harlem along Broadway stopping only to eat one meal and see a movie. Now when I'm casually walking in the summer through University City I almost laugh as the college kids walk with the correct walking shoes, the correct walkman and heart pace monitor and walking in the "proper way": In the winter they are no where to be found...Too funny. I didn't realize until 15 years ago that walking was actually healthy for you. |
