Coffee walk complete. ☕🚶♀️
Round trip: 2.75 miles
Steps: 6,155
Active Zone Minutes: 104
These coffee walks have quietly become part of my daily walking routine for fitness and mental health.
It was a lovely, sunny and warm day in North Phoenix.
Today’s walk turned into a full musical.
At one point I realized something that surprised me: I could walk full speed and sing an entire song without running out of breath.
Not that long ago it would have sounded like:
huff… word… puff… word…
Today it was the whole song.
Progress sometimes sneaks up on you like that.
If you had walked past me this morning you would have seen:
• traffic cone earrings
• coffee cup maraca
• occasional dance steps
• backup singer mode fully engaged
Music was on shuffle, which means the choreography was… unpredictable.
Sometimes it’s marching.
Sometimes it’s cha-cha steps.
Sometimes it’s full “mad hatter on a sidewalk” energy.
Walk Receipts
And yes — it still counts.
Movement doesn’t have to look perfect to work. Sometimes the best cardio is just letting the music move you while you walk to coffee.
