Just tell her that "other things came up" and you are not able to walk with her this time. Keep doing it. She'll get the message.

Maybe instead of getting out of walking, you should tell her that you would like the walk to be a positive experience and start talking about positive things. (Walking is a good thing!) Tell her, if you must, that she is being negative and it is having a negative impact on you. If those two things combined do not work, then tell her that you are not enjoying the walks because of the negativity and so you are going to stop. (You really shouldn't come up with an excuse or a lie or just stop walking - just tell her the truth, calmly and kindly and go from there.)

Dilute the negative energy. Ask an additional neighbor or two to join you. Don't stop walking, it is good for your health. Another option is to step up your exercise. Join a local gym or start taking an exercise class. The final option is to just tell her the truth...they say the truth will set you free.

Are you walking near traffic? ;-)
OK that wasn't very nice i know. But it's a thought. Look if you don't want to walk with her change your day's so that she can't walk with you! Now if she has an open schedule then we get creative. You ready for this!
OK you tell her you aren't feeling very well and that you cant go out. That's your excuse for the 1st time. On the 2nd time tell her you still aren't feeling well and that you are going to the Doctor. Now by the 3rd time tell her the doctor said that your breathing patterns are off because of all the pollution and car exhaust from outside, and he has but you on house arrest from walking. Also tell her that he said she needs to go to the doctor too. Well i hope it all works out for you.

Easy, get a mp3 player, put your favorite tunes on it, put in the ear buds once you have met her and turn up the tunes, keep a brisk pace and make sure she gets out of breath, she will not be able to talk, and if she does she will be drowned out by the music.
A few days of this and she will get the hint and stop walking with you, and you will never even have to say anything

Tell her you want to start running instead. Set a pace fast enough that she can't talk.
