Being at my mom’s on Long Island and car-less is annoying at times, but I generally make it work. Trains are helpful as is waking.
It’s interesting I’ve been a runner for nearly 2 years, but walking seems so foreign. Remember when we used to walk around in giant herds in junior high and high school before we could drive? I also walked a lot in college and grad school since I lived on campus and rarely had to leave.
Living in both Texas and Alabama the past 4+ years has limited my walking as a means of transportation drastically. So much stuff is far apart and it’s not the culture (obesity rates anyone?).
Clearly when you are in NYC you do a lot of walking which I love. However walking around Long Island is strange. I’m nearly at my destination now – starbucks for coffee and free wifi (to apply for jobs). I enjoyed my mile-ish walk and typing this post at the same time. Have you walked for transportation lately?
