Want to go for a walk?

Once again, a lovely spring-like day where I live; and once again we'll mark this day on the calendar to recall several months from now when it's 100 degrees in the shade and we are limp from humidity, walking around cross-eyed and begging for water. (It's not pretty.)... Simply could not go to spin class because the blue skies and birds beckoned.
Just now came across this article
on the Prevention Website extoling the virtues of power walking. It's a great report--everything from good shoes to walking tips to building endurance and interval training. The thing about power walking is it's not as rough on the knees as running; and if you walk at a good clip (say, 4 mph or more), it's as beneficial as jogging.
Tell me your walking routine.
