Liam, I am remembering to have fun. The time I spend walking at the park is probably the most relaxing time I spend all week. So, having fun I am.
Jogging may get another chance, but that won't be happening for a while. I am going to look into a bicycle, but I need to figure out where the bike trails are around here. The city parks website isn't much help since, when they do show the bike trails, they don't say whether they're mountain bike trails or not.

My suggestion is to power walk. Do exercises before walking or jogging. Do pushups and situps regularly. If you really want to get in shape. Join a gym and get personal trainer.
For instance for the past three months I jog two miles non-stop. I extend it a little each week. When I first started it was just around my block ttwo times which is about 1/2 a mile non stop. Then after I could easily do that running at full speed, I switched to Mercer Park (wondering if I should have said that). My goal is to jog the whole 7 mile trail non stop before my shipment date.
Set a pace for yourself. Slowly increase it eahc week.

Swimming can also be dangerous. I know several people who have hurt themselves swimming, usually by overrotating their backs, for example, as they turn for air swimming freestyle. So, if you're going to swim, have someone check out your stroke to make sure you're doing it correctly.
The only injuries I've heard of from walking are things like getting hit by some fucking bicyclist. Walking is pretty safe.

I don't have to worry about bicyclists. They're restricted to the bike trails on the other side of the park and on the roads. So, there's no chance that I'll be hitting by someone on a bike, whether he or she is fornicating or not.
The only chance I really have to get hurt walking is by not watching where I am going. I get easily distracted by my attractive female colleagues on the exercise trail. Thankfully, I have yet to be so blinded as to walk out into traffic.
