Do I WANT to live to be 100?

Probably not, but a new article in the New York Times by Jane Brody emphasizes the benefits of walking. My favorite line in the article is when one practioner bemoans the fact that he tries to get his patients to walk and there's such resistence. "We're not prescribing chemotherapy, for pete's sake! It's WALKING!"

I am lucky to be in a walking group at work. It's important on a variety of levels but of course the first benefit is that it's a group of people encouraging you to go, even when work is piling up on your desk.

Here's the article http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/26/health/26brody.html?src=me&ref=general
