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. 😀 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? 🙄😆 I had to convert them to miles on Google to get any real meaning out of it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (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 🎸

I’m stepping into 2020 with a fresh “beginners” 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

Here’s to 2019, a year which somehow ended very well despite everything. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 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 people’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. 😆. 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
