Hello Siddy In GA, Girl you are so right. In the beginning I did the same thing. I joined the YMCA cause it was so close to my front door. but money was a issue. I closed my acct after three months because I just couldn't afford the small monthly fee, But mainly cause I found out I just love walking 2-3 miles a day outside. Maybe later I'll go back to the Y. and like you said walking is cheap. Hey guess what? This morning I went for my daily walk. Hurricane Isabel's winds was just teasing me. I tell ya I felt almost weightless at times, twice it felt like it could lift me off the ground. that's when I kind of got scared. I told her, Isabel leave me alone I bet 9 months ago you would of had a hard time lifting me off my feet. LOL, But no, the winds were calm then a big gush would come and scare you half to death. It took some age off me but not no weight.grrrrr. LOL Im glad we didn't get no flooding just heavy winds and a little rain. Good luck on your walking.Take care hun**Hugs**
