How far do you walk...
...in an average day?
I'm curious if "city" people walk more than others.
You can use this site to measure how far you walk different places and add them up.
My walking commute to work is 0.58mi and to home is 0.93...which makes for about 1.5 miles.
I don't walk much around my office, but if it's not too cold/hot, I'll walk/do errands on lunch that may add up to another mile of walking
Re: How far do you walk...
I walk from my car to work (maybe 100 yards). lmao
So, maybe 200 yards per day of straight walking. I have no idea how much I walk around like while I'm at work.

My bus stop is right around the corner from my house, and the bus drops me off .2 miles from my office. I walk around quite a bit at work when I'm on program, but otherwise, not so much.
We don't have a car, though, so we typically walk to the grocery store/Starbucks in good weather and each of them are 1/2 mile away. I've been getting off the bus earlier, so that I walk the last 1/2-1 mile home when the weather cooperates. And we each take the dog out a couple of times a day, which is usually 1/4-1/2 mile (depending on how quickly he goes). When I think about how much I used to drive, I just shake my head. I drove EVERYWHERE, even when I first moved to the Boston area. But now, I prefer to walk (unless the weather is bad). We walked from Fenway to Cambridge on Sunday (probably just over 1.5 miles), and it was nothing. The apartments for our program participants are just over the river, and it's 10 minute walk. The amount of balking people do is amazing.
Erica- you sound similar to us, except that I'm guilty of driving to the grocery store (even though it's about 6 blocks away) b/c DH refuses to come with.
I never think twice about walking somewhere and then always feel bad if we have guests/family in town and they're huffing and puffing to keep up. Whoops!

There's a store along the bus route home that we'll stop at sometimes, (if the weather is bad, or if we need wine/beer), but I find it more frustrating to wait for 2 buses than to just walk home from the other store. (Our bus route ends right in front of it.) We also get a Zipcar every so often, so we stock up on essentials/bigger items at BJs/Target to cut down on the lugging. Oh, and we started getting some fruits/veggies delivered from Boston Organics every other week, so that helps, too.
And I'm totally guilty of making people walk further than they expect, so I feel your pain. I've often said things like, "it's only a mile away!" and their heads explode, heh.
I walk quite a bit at work some days. Depending on what my classes are doing or what I am teaching that day, I sometimes just make laps around the room going from group to group, student to student. I also walk everywhere at school, lots of times instead of sending an e-mail or making a phone call to the treasurer or librarian (which are in the adjoining building) I walk there to talk to them.
Most days we walk the dogs too and that is usually about 2 miles.
Not much...I walk to and from our apartment to my car which is about 100 feet, then it's about 1/3 mile from where I park at work to my desk, so I do that twice a day, and then just a little around the office. I need to join the gym again but since we're planning on moving in December, I don't want to start my membership just to cancel it in a few months bc the apartments we're hoping to move into have their own gym.
So yeah...I'm pretty lazy.
