In this day and age people seem to be staying in more and more, so what is the longest time you've spent indoors?...For me, I can only say a day when I've had a cold, I cannot stay in for too long, I get cabin fever.

What's outdoors?

DAvid and I walk every day. Sometimes it 15 minutes to catch a bus and sometimes it is half an hour near the river.

An entire two weeks when I caught chicken pox at age 21. Not fun.

A few years ago there were school holidays when sometimes the only time I went outside was to do my paper round on Sunday morning. So 7 days.

These days I'm much more sociable and, erm... hang around on internet message boards. hmmm.

Probably about 2 weeks after I came back from hospital aged 10.

I haven't had a day where I didn't walk in years and years. I went like a week in bed once due to depression, about 5 years ago. Since then, daily. I live in NYC, I have to walk.

i thought i'd laready answered this post, then i checked again - about 3 or 4 days, until my carton of ciggies was finished.

Hospitalized for four months at age 10. Kinda enjoyed it.

― dave q, Monday, 30 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm with Kim. Chicken pox for a fortnight, just a few weeks ago. Mind you, the tennis was on - I wasn't going anywhere.

― Michael Jones, Monday, 30 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

five months pass...

I haven't had a proper walk in ages. I think my ILE n' urban shoebox existence is rotting my brain. Mind you, it's raining.

Walks = good. Proper around the neighborhood walk on Monday, but plenty of localized trotting and wandering around campus all during the week.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Walking will be the death of me: I get bored walking, so I smoke to occupy myself. And I walk EVERYWHERE. Urgh. Cue crap junior high filmstrip on dangers of chainsmoking, rotted lungs abound...

Decided as a small child that anything one could not READ while doing was a waste of time, hence baths > showers, being driven > walking, etc.

I'm going for one now. They're playing Suede in this interweb cafe.

― Graham, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No no, that's a sign you should STAY....TO-GEF-AHHHHHHHHHHH!

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

THORTS. Should I walk to work in the mornings? Its about 40 minutes and pretty much rubbidge until you get to well - Westminister bridge. I need to get fit. Does walking help? This will also mean I have to GET UP which I am sure will make me feel more energetic when I finally get there.

There's NO WAY I'm walking home to where I live in the dark. It's not very salubrious...

― Sarah, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I walk to and from work (25 mins each way)...I dunno about it's health effects, but it saves me money! But now I have to dodge goddamn seagulls on the way to work! SEAGULLS! They should live by the sea, not in suburban west London. Maybe they have made it good and bought one of those swanky new apartments they are building in Brentford.

― jel, Sunday, 27 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I reckon I walk 25-30 miles a week.

― jel, Sunday, 27 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one year passes...

OK. This is what the random button pulled for me.

The longest I've been without a walk. Sheesh. Haven't been getting out enough lately, but ... Probably after I bashed my head when I was 16. I had a severe concussion and after the hospital I stayed in my house for well over a month. I was terrified that I had some sort of hidden brain damage the doctors hadn't discovered and that, if I walked out on the street, or went to school, it would suddenly kick in, and I'd be walking around with my knuckles dragging behind me and my tongue hanging down to my knees. Or something like that. But after a month cooped up in the house I realized that clinical insanity was imminent. It was a real bind, but in the end I chose to get out and start walking again.

I walk every single day. I've never had a car or a driver's licence and I don't much fancy subways or buses so I go as far as I can on foot, unless it's pressing.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't have a car when I first came to N.O. and had to rely on public transportation here. More often than not I wound up walking all the way too my destination before a fucking streetcar came by. So now I have a car. I hate driving and paying for gas and insurance tho.

― jewelly (jewelly), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

for a little over a year after being born

Anyone ever seen "Waydowntown"? It's a little Canadian flick that details the lives of a group of Calgarian office workers who've made a bet to see how long they can spend without going out for a walk. The movie chronicles the 28th day...

― cybele (cybele), Thursday, 3 July 2003 01:21 (twenty-two years ago)

three years pass...

More interested in agoraphobic staying in marathons rather than walking experiences....

(although,

I reckon I walk 25-30 miles a week.

hmmm...not from 25 minutes to work and back)

what is the longest you have gone without a wank, morelike

― gershy, Saturday, 21 April 2007 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

overall: a whole winter

recently: abount ten minutes

― kenan, Saturday, 21 April 2007 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

I was quite sick during the winter, but the longest I stayed in the house was three days and at the end of it I had to drag myself out of bed and leave the house, just to go around the block. I couldn't stand it.

When I was a kid I was in hospital in an isolation ward for a week, and only my mother was allowed to visit me. That was the worse experience I ever had.

― accentmonkey, Saturday, 21 April 2007 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

since i learned how, for 2 weeks when i couldn't see or even take my head out from under the duvet in a room with the curtains closed because it hurt my eyes too much.
depressing.
walking is ace. solvitur ambulando.

― emsk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 23:20 (nineteen years ago)

Walking for pleasure=classic, walking for necessity=dud

Although it is nice when you and your friends have an understanding of the need for "transit talk." I almost always talk to my out-of-town friends (all carless)when one or both of us are en route, but when I call my car-ed friends, they're like, "you're only calling to amuse yourself while you walk!"

― emilys., Monday, 23 April 2007 00:57 (nineteen years ago)

i can't go a day without walking or doing something outside
