Outdoors columnist Alli Harvey reflects on the utility of a simple walk — both a relaxing activity and an effective form of exercise
Years ago, whenever I’d get on the phone with my stepmom and share about whatever recent outdoor exploit I’d stumbled into, she’d inevitably respond, exasperated, with some version of: “Honey, that’s meshuggenah.” She was right. She usually, irritatingly, was. She was right so often that even now that she’s gone, I still go to her in my head for advice. My sister and I ask ourselves, what would Janet do? We invoke her often when figuring out our own lives and in supporting each other.
I started to walk. I don’t have a dog and didn’t really have anywhere to be, so I was walking mostly for walking’s sake. Sometimes I had a pal to go with, other times it was just me and maybe a podcast. To be perfectly honest, I found the entire activity dull and incredibly time-consuming. Some walks were better than others. I enjoyed making phone calls while walking, and sometimes was able to swing work meetings that way, which helped whittle away the steps practically on their own. Other walks were grueling exercises in counting down the steps and minutes. Yet other times, it was so disgusting outside — read: all of February — that I pulled up “Selling Sunset” on Netflix in my living room and marched in place.
