This was for the last day of the month-long stepping challenge (Steptember! Ha!) organized by @shivanijpatel - which I ended up (barely!) winning. (I was literally running in my living room until midnight last night.) It was an amazing experience, I interacted with a lot of cool people (special thanks to @laurenlself for pushing me to the brink of what I was capable of!) I have lots more to say about what the challenge had taught me, and might do it at some other point, but here are a few of my top takeaways: 1. We modern humans don’t spend nearly enough time engaged in physical activities. 2. We don’t spend nearly enough time outdoors. 3. Our shoes - even the best ones - are far inferior for walking than bare feet. The first two points are something I’ve been aware of for years, but the last one was really driven home by this competition.
