Okay, America, it is time for real health care, and your only investment is thirty minutes a day. I tell you that walking briskly (as you can) for thirty minutes is the base for your improved health. Those of you doing more are not needing my health plan, go play and be beautiful. But all those looking at televisions and computer monitors and screens and spending most of their life sitting some where - give yourself thirty minutes of vigorous walking every day. And eat fruits, vegetables and nuts without cooking them too much. Have at it, notice it isn't costing anything except your attention and time on the trail. Later.... in thirty days tell me how you feel.

It does work! I try to walk at least that much at lunch, and playing golf on the weekends! Plus back and forth to the targets (at least out to 300, beyond that I cheat). :-)
Sounds like the plan! You send in your proposal to the big O yet? Good luck with that!
Really, I was talking to one of the younger ferry boat captains, worried about getting older and out of shape. Younger Next Year... is the title I recommend for the doctors take on good health. I am listening to Obama (not really) but what they are selling isn't Health Care - but Health Care Insurance. They can't sell it that way. I will continue to sound my drum (it makes me work harder) and I will affect those around me faster. Y'all just remember that golf was described as a way to ruin a nice walk... or some such, I have few sporting skills... chasing little balls isn't one of them.
I've started walking about 2.5 miles (50 minutes, roughly) but I haven't been able to do it daily. I get up at 5AM, do my walk, shower, shave, dress and go to work. Except when I can't drag my fat ass out of bed at 5, or I have to leave earlier for work.
But I'm getting there.
My daily walk to the dock, about two miles, has always been for my mental outlook, communing with nature, but it is also the minimum for health and sanity. I am still bewildered by the technological advantage that stuffs our day so full we find time to walk difficult.
