Checked my step count and hit 12,000 without even trying today.

Usually I'm happy if I get to 8,000. But I walked to the grocery store in the rain, then took the dog to Grant Park. Looked at my phone and bam, 12k. Felt good to just move more without it being a big planned workout. Anyone else get surprised by a random fitness number?

I mean, the "without even trying" part is the dream. My watch just shames me with a 250 step notification most days. Maybe I need a dog and a rainy grocery trip.

My old apartment was on the third floor and the laundry was in the basement. I was hitting 10,000 steps by Tuesday just from forgetting my detergent. You start to realize modern life is built to keep you sitting still. Getting a dog is basically buying a very cute, very loud step counter that also needs walks in the rain.

Modern life is a conspiracy against moving, @wright.finley.
