Is Walking Meditation?

I have felt some small benefits from meditation however i find it hard to do it everyday. I understand that I dont want to do it because its emotionally difficult and all that but for whatever reason I just dont really do it everyday. What i do enjoy doing everyday though is walking. I have recently been pressured by heavy emotions caused by a girl very close to me and whilst I find it hard to sit and meditate I feel I have made some huge progress just going for a walk for a couple of hours.  am I robbing myself of progress by substituting a walk instead of meditation? I sometimes do mindfulness techniques such as labelling a sound and then listening to it whilst i am out walking I just find it easier to sit and do when i get away from my surroundings and I feel more likely to start doing something if that something involves physically getting up from where I was.
