A step-tracking app screen shows the user’s 2025 activity summary: an average of 13,711 steps per day and a total of 5,004,554 steps taken so far this year. A horizontal bar graph displays monthly step counts from January to December, with each bar marked by a checkmark indicating goal completion.

5 million steps taken this year. Thanks to all the music, podcasts, and audiobooks that walked with me. Here’s to a wonderful 2026 for me, and for anyone who happens to pass by this post.

Walking is the simplest way to refresh your mind 🚶‍♂️ Each step clears stress, boosts energy, and reconnects you with the world around you. No gym needed, just movement and freedom 🌤️ #WalkingLife #MentalHealth #DailySteps

Sundays feel like a “relax” day until you’re deep into errands and editing video

This isn’t adulting… it’s survival mode with side quests. 🎮😅

Just wrapped my walk—33:34 on the clock, cruised it in. Missed my 10:30 start but getting closer. Earlier bedtime helped! The early bird gets the worm…and a whole day to move freely. The more you do, the more you can do. Let’s go! 🌞 #WalkingLife

Really great reminder that showing who you are is influence, whether or not you're on TikTok and whether or not you claim the label of influencer.

Closeup photo of clusters of blossoms on a bush with long slender pointed green leaves. Just a few of the blossoms have opened on each cluster to show pale pink petals. The rest are still closed and are a darker pink.

Fuzzy photo of v-shaped wedge of dark birds swimming in cold grey water.

Today's walking delights: A blooming bush; great blue heron taking off from near shore and gronking as it flew along the inlet, huge wings beating slowly; cohort of loons(?) paddling hard to swim out against the incoming tide.

Closeup photo of a white daisy with the tips of the petals touched with a bright pink and a bright yellow center against small broad leaves and grass.

Photo of a green field of grass speckled with tiny white daisies.

Yesterday while walking I saw first one tiny daisy, then a couple more, then realized the playfield at the middle school was full of them. What month is it again?!

Things seen or experienced while walking-- may become a thread I add to. Today, a sign in the window of a building in downtown Olympia, "NOTICE: These premises protected by The Muppets."

My neighbors may think I'm rucking. Well, sure, if you count a haul at the local bakery I walked to as the load. That's what they mean, right?
