It actually was a bit of a nuisance because I usually just leave my phone at my desk, so to have to grab it every time I got up to walk somewhere was crazy (I don't usually have available pockets to keep my phone on me).

Although there are definitely days I barely move, too! I've actually been less obsessed with steps lately, more concerned with just getting movement in the day (but that probably has a lot to do with being sick & wanting to make sure I stay healthy!).<br /><br />Unfortunately I've had the lovely running in cold run quite a bit this month. Can't always shuffle things around so it is what it is. Of course we're not supposed to get a cold rain tomorrow (but it keeps changing, as it always does).<br /><br />Good luck this weekend!Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096124660145481881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-59083449747102037522019-05-31T06:42:50.159-05:002019-05-31T06:42:50.159-05:00Good luck on the 20k.
