Oh please stop it!
I know I should walk, I know it is good for me, I know I sometimes enjoy it when I do. Mostly I think of it as the most pointless thing. To be walking nowhere. Not to get somewhere or arrive anywhere, just the act of walking for the sake of walking annoys me.
I certainly don’t like it in extreme conditions, very hot day, endless drizzle, freezing cold all makes me want to just stop it and get back in the car.
Having dogs helps a little, it provides a purpose, it allows for exercise for paws and snuffling and running around.
Ask me ‘shall we go for a walk?’ and I will usually respond with a ‘because?’
Running only makes you arrive nowhere quicker and more out of breath, pointless and tiring.
The counting steps thing is like watching everyone around you collectively lose their minds. If you have spent all day on your feet or walking or running your body will inform you in a variety of ways. I really do not need to know precisely how many steps I did or did not take.
If I could I would remove all the algorithms to do with running and walking from my watch/iPhone and make more room for storing music. Why they assume that everyone wants that garbage on their devices I will never know. At least give me the option of removing them if I have no use for them.
How arrogant is it that some horrendously happy jogging vegan in a design studio 5k+ miles from me gets to decide that.
In a few days, if I manage to hit 5,000 steps, I will not be posting about it. Chances are I won’t even notice.
