Walking to Work

When I lived in NYC I actually picked places to live where I could walk to work. I loved it. Usually about a mile and a half. Along the way you can pick up a coffee, drop of shoes for repair, pick up lunch etc. Such a nice and relaxing way to start and end the day.
At one point my office changed to downtown. I lived midtown. But I lived along the water so often walked to and from work along the water. Just awesome. But I did take the subway more those days too, especially in winter. But I always loved walking the most.

I used to do this all the time at 3 of the 4 jobs I had over the course of the time I lived in NYC. Sure beats commuting on the subway. And now in Raleigh I soooort of do it for 2 of the 3 jobs I have all at once. Seems fair since the third job requires getting on a plane and commuting to Chicago.

According to my odometer, my abode is 21.2 miles from my workplace. That is assuming I go straight from home to work.
Safe to say this isn’t happening for me. But to the people who do this, awesome. I would love to walk to work when the weather is nice and if I lived closer.
Urban sprawl-​the struggle is real.
The tag for this review is ’”churches.” What? I reviewed a church? Uh oh…

Living in a city where finding a parking space is harder than winning in the Hunger Games. Where trying to drive from one side of town to the opposite is harder than finding the yellow brick road in Oz. Where catching a taxi is worse than being a bull in a corrida.
What better than using public transportation and walk back and forth to work? You can marvel in the changing of seasons, look at the blooming flowers on those trees finally welcoming the spring. You can look at others running about their business and constantly being late for something.
You can immediately know that the weather forecast was WRONG again (sunny you said??? The. Why is it hailing??).
And, best of all, you can skip going to thw gymn…
On any given day, i walk 12k steps, run a good 15% of those steps while trying to catch a bus or the subway.
True, i have to buy a new pair of shoes more often than those who commute by car…
But, at least, i don’t have to deal with crazy drivers and getting all upset by red traffic lights and no parking space EVER…

Yup I have walked home from work. I didn’t want to wait for my ride a few times when one of our cars were out of commission cuz some random naked guy head dove through my back window, an engine was being rebuilt, the radiator was being replaced, car fire, ect. For a while when I physically could not drive due to shattering my dominant arm and hand I walked everywhere, even though my other half told me to wait for him. But waiting for him, was sometimes like waiting for rain in the drought. There I just qouted Mandy Moore.
This ride of mine I didn’t know when it would come. It could be at 4:00, maybe 4:15, maybe as late as 5:00pm. So what did I do? Do I bitch and moan and blow up my chauffers phone? Of course not. I am the type of girl who hand picks her fight cards and only use them when it really matters. If he was not on time to take me home then I took the bus, and walked. A little exercise never hurts anyone. So I put on my walking shoes and hit the road.
I take one bus towards my end of town, hopped off it and instead of paying for a second fare I walk home another 2 – 3 miles. And it felt good. Once in a while someone I know sees me and gives me a ride.
But ya, walking does your body good!!!

Ain’t nothing wrong with walking to work at all. The privlidged people will bitch and moan. Because that’s all they got going for them in life. As for me, if my whips got a flat, stolen, blown up. shot up or tires all slashed and the windows got broken out. Yeah they be some cray cray women out here. Just sayiN.
Your Boi V DIzzle, would walk to work and not even give a FUC. It’s been a cool ass min, Since some shit jumped off. But I remember the days, not having transportation. There was a time I did not have a car, I would walk to the daycare to drop off my eldest daughter and then walk to work. When you grow up having nothing you learn to appreciate everything in life. Unlike silver spoons who were handed everything and didn’t work for shit. They don’t appreciate nothing but they take joy in bringing people down. Fuk them Putos.
So yeah, I’ll work to work anytime I want. Becasue I can. I don’t mind catching the bus or riding my BMX Bike. As long as I make it, that’s all that matters.

Love to do this when I have the chance. Takes about 20 minutes if I get the Ipod and fast pace and comfy shoes on. Better than any smelly gym, plus there’s a shower for employees!!! at work!!! Amazing for the all nighters that are more dedicated than a getting ready to go public IPO enticement for some. Saves me that $ 1.50 away from that new MUNIserable driver too.
Best in the summer when sun rises at 5am and sets at 9pm!

With this beautiful weather I’ve been walking to and from work. I live near Duboce Park and I work downtown on Montgomery Street near the Transamerica.
Put on headphones, trainers, messenger bag securely fastened, and start dancing down Market Street.
–Swift pace.
–Always be moving. If waiting for walk signal, dance in place.
–Pay attention to movement in peripheral vision at all times between Van Ness and 5^th Street.
–DO NOT look in Puma, you don’t need any more Puma’s.
–Be sure to keep agile in case you need to «dodge a crazy» at any point.
–Drink water.
–When approaching Montgomery, don’t forget to look ahead down Market at the Ferry Plaza tower to take in the intoxicating view. This is where you live!
It takes me about 50 mins to walk each way to work. I love it. Get outside, get moving.
Yeah SF!
