Yes, I know what you mean about inspiring other family members. My wife walks fairly regularly but
my son only walks far enough to get from the house to his car. You seem to be pretty active. I used
to run when I was in school but as I got older I began to have problems with my knees. Although
walking doesn't bother them running led to pain. During the winter, I spend a couple of days each
month camping at a local state park. It offers me a chance to walk in new and beautiful areas which
usually inspires me.
