Nancy, mentioned that this discussion board would be of interest to me. I have been enjoying your discussions today. One of my favorite forms of relaxation is walking up and down the streets of the small town that I live in listening to novels. I never liked to exercise but about 6 years ago, while planning a vacation to the Atlantic Ocean, I realized that I was not in shape to walk any distance on the beach. I figured if I could get my mind on something else I could get my self in shape. I discovered a books on tape rental site for good books. So I began to "read" and walk. When the vacation arrived, I was able to stroll for miles on the beach and have been walking and "reading" ever since. I was wondering if I might join in your discussions from time to time?

HI oahe...I am new here. I also love to walk but never thought of listening to books while I walk. And I also love to read so what a wonderful idea to put both together. I will have to buy an audio book for that purpose. I think that I will walk alot further listening to a good book.

Thanks...

Ladypa, welcome. I think you'll find this a very friendly group of gals. Stick around and get to know us better. I listen to books on tape a lot while I walk and it is a great way to make the walk go quickly. Nancy

Sometimes the books are so good I walk an extra block or two! I have stood at the front door of my house waiting for the chapter to end....

Glad you've joined us!

Wow - "reading" and walking... I'd be scared I'd get into the book so much I'd forget where I was and fall down a manhole or something equally brilliant... ;-)
