    I'm a winter walker too. I ride year-round, but only in daylight and usually only when the roads are dry. That means that my off-season riding is limited to the weekends.

    Although I do go to the gym a couple of times a week, I walk outside on most days. My walks range from 60 to 90 minutes, day or night (lit up by flashing lights if I walk after dark...). I used to ride my bike on a trainer, but I stopped that two years ago when I realized how much I hated it. My riding now is on the road and not indoors. Guess it's a good thing that (fast) walking is something that works for me.

    I think it's important to walk all year round, otherwise, the big O is going to get you.
    I try to walk a mile every day i am at work. I started this campaign in October.
    I walk when we have breaks or at lunch if i am fortunate enough to get a lunch break.

    I'm a walker too Lisa. I love winter! It's my dogs main excersice so we get out at least twice a week, usually 3 times. I bought snow shoes last winter so I could walk them in the woods. Only thing missing now is snow...

    Walk? What is that? I'm unfamiliar with the word. Snowshoe, yes, if only the snow was closer.

    Walk - you betcha

    Yeah, I walk a lot in the winter. walks around the neighborhood - out into the national forest behind my house; hikes up the mountain with and without snowshoes (depending on depth of snow). It's a good way to get outside when the daylight is limited

    Yep, I walk with and without doggie company. During winter I get off BART (rapid transit here) 2-3 stops early and walk around the lake, well part of the lake anyway. That gets a good half hour brisk walk in 2-3 times a week.

    Wow, so great to hear about so many women walking as well as biking!
    I'm ready for the winter. Clear roads=bike. Icy roads=walk.
