Walk or bike as a form of transportation more often

Even though our city is quite spread out, our new neighborhood is fairly centrally located with convenient stores, record stores, grocery stores, my husband’s work, and both my school and my son’s school within a twenty block radius. In terms of how people operate in this town, that’s quite a distance, but when I was in New York, twenty blocks was nothin’ and considered part of the daily grind. I’m just tired of feeling weighed down with guilt when I hop in the car to go buy milk because it’s quicker, when I could just invest another five or ten minutes of my day and save on gas, get some exercise, and feel like less of a bum.
