Me

Three Millions Steps

My Sweatcoin app, which I had reluctantly decided to allow tracking all my steps, reported to me that in 2019, I had walked over 3 millions steps, or the distance from Lubbock (Texas) to Rochester (New York).

This was cool to know, helped inspire me, and turned out to be a surprisingly delightful experience. ๐Ÿ˜€ It’s much better than the usual “medal” or fireworks for doing my regular workouts. Granted, there was a full-year buildup for the one.

My only complaint is that the distance shows up in kilometers. I know this is America-centric of me, but srsly, kilometers? ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜† I had to convert them to miles on Google to get any real meaning out of it. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ (It’s 1472 miles.)

Can you spot (1) the cowboy dancing with the woman in suspenders, (2) the mysterious bored girl with the mustachioed man, (3) the alt rocker playing a country version of her own song? Great show by @the.rated.exes ๐ŸŽธ

Iโ€™m stepping into 2020 with a fresh โ€œbeginnersโ€ mindset. This view reminds me of a song by M Ward: When you’re absolute beginners It’s a panoramic view From her majesty Mount Zion And the kingdom is for you Uh huh, uh huh – For Beginners #music #lyrics #newyear #newyear2020 #mountbonnell #austin #texas #atx #river via Instagram https://ift.tt/37wgl6W

Hereโ€™s to 2019, a year which somehow ended very well despite everything. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ It was a year of productive discomfort. I did some hard sprinting (pictured), improv, yoga with people half age, job hunting, casual dating, fending off Chinese hackers, playing bad versions of other peopleโ€™s songs, recording some pretty good original songs, parenting a middle schooler, visiting undisclosed locations, waiting / not waiting, winning by losing (Alamo style), met some amazing and surprising people, and a few things you will never ever ever hear about. ๐Ÿ˜†. Thank you, my weird 2019! I will never forget you. #newyearseve #newyear #newyears2019 #yearinreview #2019 #running #sprint #austin #texas #atx BBC via Instagram https://ift.tt/2stlTjI
