Arizona has officially won this round. 😂
After this week’s heat exhaustion adventure, I am officially calling uncle on the Starbucks walks for the summer.
Between Arizona trying to cook me alive and my pinball schedule keeping me out late at night, the “wake up at butt crack dawn before the surface of the earth melts” strategy is just not sustainable right now.
So instead of pretending I’m training for a survival documentary, WWS Summer Mode is officially shifting gears.
The walks will return September 1st when Phoenix stops actively auditioning to become the surface of the sun.
In the meantime:
Still moving? Still counts.
So summer movement may now include:
🛼 Roller skating
🎮 Pinball cardio
💃 Dance videos
🏊 Pool movement
🚶 Indoor walking
🐈 Chasing cats around the house while yelling “what do you have in your mouth?!”
The goal was never perfection.
The goal was always finding ways to keep moving in real life.
And real life in Arizona means adapting before you end up medium rare on a park bench talking to Wild West Mustache Guy for 30 minutes in direct sunlight.
Summer WWS era begins now.
Still counts. 😎🌵🦎
