Both are good, but I like walking more than jogging or running. It's because I can't jog and I run like a duck in danger :oops: .

Well, when a duck is regularly running it would run with its bill forward, make quack quack noise and flap its wings, right? When it's in danger I think it would run the same way, but it would run faster and just imagine a duck that runs really fast. Would you find it funny? I bet I would :lol: . I would roll on the floor laughing if I see something like that :mrgreen: . Anyway, I run kinda like that, leaning myself foward, breathing like I'm about to be out of breathe and swinging my arms all over the place. That's why I hate running. I look crazy when I run :oops: .

My house is not far away from a lake that is called Lake Merritt. Recently, I have been walking around that lake in the afternoon a lot. Mostly it's because I need to tone myself a bit since I look a bit flabby due to 'the winter' :oops: "too cold to exercise". :oops: And there is another reason, which is the lake has a lot of ducks that were originally from Canada. They flew to that lake some time in some year ago and they haven't migrated back to Canada :? .
I frequently go to the lake to feed those ducks with my cousins and nephews. Sometimes, the ducks would take their babies for a walk or a swimming lesson; it's amazingly cute to watch. The baby ducks are all in yellow and they always follow the parents in a row like marching. Isn't that cute? Also, there are pigeons and seagulls at that lake. I've been observing them and realizing that they have their little ecosystem within themselves.
In that lake, the ducks are the biggest ones, so they'll get the bigger pieces of food people throw out. Next is the seagulls. And last is the pigeons. Since the pigeons can't float in the water, they only eat food people throw out on land and only when the food is thrown near them. They never dare to snatch the food from the ducks or the seagulls. The seagulls, on the other hand, are robbers. They snatch food from both ducks and pigeons. It's been so many times I throw the food out to the water so the baby ducks could eat it, but those seagulls fly right at it and snatch the food even before it hits the water. I hate them :evil: .
I still have a lot more to tell you about them. Ask me if you wanna hear more, ok. Oh yeah, cool enough is I've found the information about Lake Merritt at wikipedia. This website's gotta have everything, hasn't it???? 8) Check here if you wanna know about it,

It’s really pleasant to walk or run around that lake especially in the morning because it’s prettier in the morning, I think. Your mind and your health will be improved in a healthy way even if you have or don't have something bothering you inside. After a long walk/run, you can stop by that bird sanctuary island to feed the birds. They have a little park for kids with swings, slides, etc. I usually start walking at the feeding bird’s place and I’ll go around the lake for one lap, so I could end up at the feeding bird’s place again. After that, I will sit on the bench to watch the birds and the kids.
There was once time I went to the lake in early in the morning, around 8 o'clock in the summer. As I've told you before that the US follows the daylight saving hour system, right? So, the mornings of summer would be a lot brighter than mornings of other seasons. On that day, I got up early and went to the lake for a walk. When I was there looking around my surroundings, the beauty of the scene had attracted me. People were walking around the lake in singles, pairs, or groups. There were some mothers who were strolling their babies. Also, little kids were walking around the lake with their parents. A lot of the people were going together as families. At the feeding bird’s place, people were feeding the ducks that were making a lot of noises to get food. Next to it was a kid’s playground, mothers were talking to other mothers while watching their kids at the same time. That’s how a morning at that lake is usually like.

Yeah, Tai Chi is nice to practice. There is a group of old people near my school (there is a small park near it) that do Tai Chi every day around 7-ish to 9-ish in the morning. I see other races of people beside Asians join that group.

Well, to me there is a slight difference between jogging and running. For jogging, you kinda run with a steady slow trot. Pushing your legs up and down like you're jumping up and down in one place and run like that. That's how I jog. It's ca be faster than walking, but quite slower than running. For running, you don't push your legs up and down like jumping in one place, but it's more like running freely.
Either one is still good for your health. When you are tired of running, you can jog. Then you can run again and then jog. Combine them to make it more fun. Or you can walk when you are really tired.

Yes walk first. Don't run yet. And don't forget to stretch your legs before you go walking. It's because your legs might not get used to it; therefore, the muscles would hurt you a bit. Give it several times before you'll start jogging or running unless you want pain in your legs.

I must admit I prefer walking I have never really been a jogger. I find it too intense. I enjoy walking at a brisk pace.

Both are good for the health and fitness but the Jogging is more beneficent in weight loss and burning the calories than the walk. 30 minute of jogging can burn more than 200 calories.
