If you walk outside for exercise...
where do you walk? We just moved to a new town, and I don't know where the city park is yet. I don't really want to drive anywhere to walk, but we live on a fairly busy rural road. However, I do see runners out on it quite a bit. I guess I'd be okay to walk on it, right? Also, do you carry a cellphone or anything just in…
