You know, the treadmill is all right, especially for short workouts. Flat surface, relatively soft, no potholes or dog poo to watch out for, and once you get going, you can more right along, sticking to the predetermined pace without a waver.

Here's an interesting event for walkers: The C&O Canal 100K / 80K / 50K One Day Hike from Washington, D.C., to Harper's Ferry in West Virginia at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers.

Wonder if there is something like that organized on the 800-km Bruce Trail?
