There's something about walking that's different from jogging.When I'm jogging，I'm constantly challenging myself to go farther or faster，sweat more，and breathe harder.But when I'm walking，I'm taking time to go outside and put one foot in front of the other while I look around，breathe，and feel the sun and the wind.When I walk，I'm submerging(浸没) myself in life.
On walks，I make friends with myself.That little voice in my head asks，“How are you going to finish three major projects this week？” I answer，“Now，calm down.This is your time.No deadlines，no projects，no have-to-dos.”
Walks alone and walks with companions each have their own pleasures.On walks with companions，acquaintances become friends and friendships deepen.There are always memories and thoughts to share on walks.

Where else can you appreciate the beauty in the world except on a walk? Why not take a walk and do it for pleasure?
