    Yeah, I live in the southeast US, outside is not exactly comfortable for walking and there are not many good options closer than the gym. I go to the gym where I can spend more time on the treadmill than I would be willing to spend outside.

      Yeah, it’s currently 101° outside, with zero cloud cover and 50% humidity. Walking a mile to the gym would require approximately six gallons of Gatorade, just to replace the water and electrolytes I’d lose along the way.

        Not too many, I’m pretty rural so there is no sidewalk, high speed limits, and assholes. The times I have walked on the road people have nearly hit me, thrown things, and just made it not safe.
