I want to start walking, but where I live there are a lot of black bears and other wild animal hazards. Maybe if I only walk when it is daylight I will feel safer.

    Do the Bears drive white work trucks and follow you from the front?

    We've got drop bears. Quite cantankerous.

    Also really rapid mosquitoes.

    Not many down here ... but you've still got to keep an eye out. You just never know with those drop bears. :grin:

    Sounds like running would be better than walking! lol

    From what I've heard, running downhill is the way to go.

    LOL... Just make sure you don't run alone (and make sure your friend runs slower than you!) Now that completes the Dad joke for the day!

    In all seriousness, if you're planning to run in the woods, buy some bear spray (basically pepper spray) if you're concerned. Several of my friends have had their yards and campsites plagued by bears, this year.

    Wow! The biggest problem I have running in England is being run over by the milk float. And the weather of course :wink: I don't envy you!

    Just make sure you don't leave your pic-a-nic basket unattended.
