Re: Opinion, I haz them

Though I was ready to believe that it was a necessary supplement to whatever else.

Noooooo. I would now be considered pretty fit, I think, and do not run at all (barring the occasional bout of Tabata sprinting in the park when it's sunny, but that happens about twice a year, literally). One of my friends loves running and likes to tell me about his 10K races just to make me whimper in horror.

If you enjoy walking, it's a decent exercise for overall health (though it won't do anything for strength or building muscle). So it can be a nice complement to strength stuff. But if you can walk "indefinitely", it sounds like you've already got that covered.

I am reading through Stumptuous articles right now, thanks for the link :)

I can also rec Gubernatrix as a source of info and inspiration.
