You da Man !

As I walk 3 miles round trip to work each day I think of you walking 30 !

Maybe Jon Krakauer will write his next book about you "Out of the Wild - a Story of Survival" ... unless of course that Burrito does you in !

Steve, thanks for the post! It's funny, when I got into LA, I asked someone where the metro was. He said, "Take the #60 bus, because it's too far to walk there."

"How long would it take to walk there?" I asked him.

"Ah man, that would take you maybe 30 minutes!" he exclaimed in horror.

I figured that was 1.5 miles, more than what the average American walks all week!

I chuckled and thanked him and walked to the metro, although I was no longer powered by that Mexican burrito. :P

So good job at walking 3 miles a day, you'll live a long and happy life. :)
