Top 10 Reasons Why Walking to Work is Awesome

10. I can tell myself that walking down 3 flights of stairs, walking for 5 minutes through parking lots, and then walking up 3 flights of stairs—in heels—resembles some sort of exercise.



9. I get to experience the fresh air and enjoy time outside on lovely days.



8. I get a huge kick that 15 minutes until I have to see patients, I’m still not dressed and I’m not running late.



7. Since I don’t drive, I can’t “stop by” a store on my way home, therefore my husband does most of the weekday errand running ;) Thanks honey!!



6. I never have to waste time in the mornings finding a parking space at work.



5. I can go home during lunch and switch the clothes from the washer to the dryer, and throw a new load into the washer.



4. I’m home by 4:45pm every day. I can make it to the leasing office before they close! I can actually get my packages the same day they’re delivered. This is HUGE.



3. I hardly ever put gas in my car. It was nearly on “E” a week and half ago, and I still haven’t filled it up. (Relax Dad, there’s a gas station nearby.)



2. I can come home during lunch and catch up on an entire episode of Private Practice.



1. I never have to scrape my car. The entire time it use to take me to scrape all the snow/ice off—I am now at work already!

  1. I thought the same thing once, yayyy don't have to scrape my car! Then all the snow froze to a sheet of solid ice overnight. FAIL.

  4. Very true. So far I haven't had to make up any excuses--but just gave truths. One time my alarm didn't go off (well I forgot to set it);I was only 15 minutes late. And the other time, right as I was leaving,the cat threw up in every room of the house and I had to wander around looking for it all to clean. Joy!
