Hot take: walking my neighborhood route beat using an app to plan my errands, and I saved 3 car trips in 5 days
I used to punch every errand into a route app that would send me zigzagging across town to save 4 minutes, but it burned gas and I was always stuck in traffic on Highway 9. Two Saturdays ago I tried something different: I made one walking loop by my shop in Beaverton, hit the post office, the bank, and the produce stand all on foot, and it took 40 minutes total. The app, for comparison, had me doing the same three stops in 55 minutes and I paid $6 in parking. The funny part is I got home and realized I never even needed the car that day. Has anyone else ditched the route app and just walked their errands instead?

My neighbor read that a 40 min walk burns like 200 calories.
