Ok. Time to go to the airport to pick up 19 year-old militant (
) daughter.
"Concourse D" (almost two miles of wonderful, air-conditioned, carpeted walking to Gate 4...then again, I can only guess at the distance.)
We have an indoor subway for the normal travellers. For the others, there is a George-Jetson-type moving sidewalk most of the trip.
For me, the societal reject, there is only one option: walk!
Man, what a blast. The only time I wasn't blowing by people was when I was walking alongside them as they took the moving sidewalk.
Look, dudes and dudettes, no disrespect. But I am comfortable with high cadence and that aerobic rush! You have your fun flying past me on the freeways. So this is your payback.

Hey, Pete, I know that corridor, too! I prefer to walk it also. However, if the slidewalk is empty enough, I jump on it AND high-cadence walk. Talk about a rush! I just have to remember to slow down toward then end or I get catapulted off the thing. When the slidewalk is crowded, which is most of the time, it is fun to pass the people who are sliding.
Regards,
Raymond

We love to draft semis at 70 mph on the freeway! What a blast!
