I pray it while driving mostly, and also while running (I listen/pray in my head to it on my iPod!)

I, too, pray the rosary while walking the dog; and I pray it out loud as well. My neighbors have gotten so used to it, they don’t think anything about it.

Maybe pretty soon the neighbors will join in 😃
 
Hmm, think I may be doing it wrong, I don’t pray the Rosary while walking, I walk while praying the Rosary. 🙂
 
There is a beautiful photo of Pope JP2 walking in the woods while praying the rosary. My pastor showed it to me, he has it in his office. Now he prays it while walking his dog.

I once heard that it is not OK for a priest to drink coffee while hearing confessions. It is, however, OK to hear confessions while drinking coffee. 👍

I have seen that picture! It was taken on his 1984 visit to Canada. It is beautiful! 🙂
 
OH HECK YES. No offense to the Rosary, but it is hard to pray sitting down. I pray while walking around a track at the school in my backyard. Helps you focus with physical activity. So happy to hear that others like to do other things while praying it.
 
I haven’t prayed the Rosary while walking but I do when driving on the freeway or highway. Praying the Rosary while driving in town could be too distracting. :eek:- No officer I didn’t see the red light, I was on the fourth mystery getting ready to say the Our Father-😃
 
Yes, it’s my favorite way to pray the Rosary. A one decade set of rosary beads works well when walking in crowded places.

My commute to work is divided up between two train lines, so there is time to pray a decade here and a decade there and finish all five by the end of the day.

I often quietly sing the prayers (simple chant) so people don’t think I’m a crazy person muttering to myself. The perception is that crazy people talk to themselves and normal people sing to themselves…
 
No, I can’t pray the rosary while walking, driving, etc. It’s even hard for me to do it sitting outside…I’m just too easily distracted. I do best on the couch with my eyes closed!!!
