I so totally agree about the walking, I have no idea about Manitoba, lol. Walking gave me my life back after I was in a really serious car accident about 20 years ago. The accident left my body broken and in a lot of pain so I adopted a very sedentary lifestyle... and gained 200lbs. At nearly 400lbs and with numerous physical limitations from the accident, there are not many exercise options available. I started walking short distances with a partner, usually my sister or my boyfriend since I am a fall risk (both of whom have caught me from diving headfirst into traffic a few times!). I increased my distance as I was able to. Now, after losing around 200lbs my average walks are 4 miles long. I can't wait for summer and my late night walks when the sun isn't baking me!
