This year I’ve learned to appreciate walking as a healthy habit. It’s getting cold and I think I’ll need to buy one of those walking-desk treadmills. It’s very not the same to walk on such a thing versus the outdoors, but…cold.

(Also, I should probably buck up and walk outdoors in the current 30°F.)

the treadmill is probably safer, especially if freezing temperatures hit. I don't know if you get that black ice over there, but it's scary, indistinguishable from asphalt until you are flat on your face (had happened to me a couple of times. ouch).

You could always open a window while walking on the treadmill, I do that when on my hometrainer.

@Sylvia Thanks for the positive thoughts! We actually have very few sidewalks in our city, so your outdoor danger points are even more…on point!

oops, then I wouldn’t even try, especially not in the dark! Do enjoy your indoor walks though! 😀
