I hate it when the seasons turn and the only light I get is going to work -- I turn into a mole!<br /><br />I am hoping to continue both morning and post-work walk, as both are pleasurable and address my need for increased "extreme" amounts of exercise -- one key, I think, to minimizing this GERD. I love my 5:00 PM walk past the huge, fancy apartment buildings, along the river, and through the charming city blocks. Even when dark, it's far from desolate, a benefit of working in a posh part of Manhattan. <br /><br />Good thought about trading off the walk for getting home sooner, but it's actually quicker to just walk quickly to my subway transfer station instead of getting to the nearest subway and then dealing with the underground transfers. :)<br /><br />How do you manage creating more space in the evening? The ongoing challenge... Making faster meals might be one strategy.

After work, I'd much rather go home and relax or go out with friends, but I do occasionally walk home when it's nice out and I have no other plans.<br /><br />Also, it's more likely to be light out in the AM - important during those winter months when my morning walk is the only time I see daylight.<br /><br />If you tried just switching to a morning walk and eliminated/minimized your evening walk, I wonder if you'd notice a difference? It would certainly get you home sooner so you could eat dinner and put a little more space between dinner and bedtime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
