[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in three places where walking was an options: 1) 1.25 miles. I did this (in all sorts of weather) when I had just moved down here, wasn't making much money, and didn't want to pay the extra for parking (bussing wasn't a good option). It was pretty horrible in winter or mid-summer. After about 2 years I started driving (carpooling with my at the time boyfriend). Aside from the weather, it was just a huge time commitment--added 40 minutes to my commute everyday compared to us driving and parking. 2) 1/2 mile. This was totally doable. It was short enough that even in mid-summer it wasn't too bad, and there were only one or two really cold winter days that made me sad about walking. 3) 1/4 mile (current house). Totally awesome. So, based on my experience, 1/2 mile or less is completely sustainable in all kinds of weather. Over a mile starts to get tough--both from not being disgustingly sweaty in summer and from taking too much time. [/quote]
