Walking with weights -- OK or not?

I often take my two-pound weights with me when I walk my dog on a 3-mile hike in the hills by my house. I use them to work on my arm muscles because I figure I might as well maximize my time. When I mentioned that to a co-worker who's active in charity runs, he said it wasn't a good idea to do both. I'm confused. Is it bad to pump a little iron while walking? Why or why not? I'd love to get some advice. Thanks.
