Walking great distances has never been extreme behavior to me. It has forever helped me regain my equilibrium, and I would always rather do the existentially important things in my life on foot. If you want to propose marriage to your girlfriend and you live in England and she is in Sicily, do the decent thing and walk down there. Traveling by car or aeroplane wouldn't be right at such a moment.
