Yep. I get many steps in at the airport.

Why in the world would you want to do this? Drag that bag all over the place. Ugh.

Well, I’ll tell you.

(1) I travel alot. ALOT. I need to do this wherever I can.

(2) I have the time. I’m not a walk-up-to-the-plane-as-the-door-closes kind of guy. I’m not completely paranoid either, but I do usually end up with 20-30 minutes of buffer. So I’d rather use the time.

(3) I’m trying to work in activity wherever I can – this is just one place and time where I can work this in.

(4) It’s also nice to get some activity in before you’ll be stuck in a flying metal tube for hours.

(5) Some airports are actually nice to walk in. Others, not so much. I’ll be posting specifics on my aiport observations in the near future.

Dragging the bag around is definitely a pain. But it’s worth it for the benefit of some activity. And it makes having a good rollerbag that can also hold my laptop bag a valuable asset in Airport Walking.

BTW, I wrote this post on a plane, after getting some serious steps in before the flight from DCA 🙂

No, I don’t plan to be doing any Airport Running any time soon. I like to avoid that. See item #2 above.
