Hi Sara, how are you? To be honest, the canal side in the Netherlands seems convenient to have a good walk or run, but from my place it's far away as well. The main problem for me is the open space heat, which makes me dizzy, dehydrated, and I start having headaches...We are having 30-35 degrees every day now, so I am not walking much. Most in the evening or at night, I take 20 minutes walk around the area and come back... A 2-mile walk is very healthy to stay fit...
