I live on a dead-end street. 5 trips end to end and back is one mile. I do at least 3 miles per day, and no more than 4 miles. I do take one day off per week.

In the pre-COVID days I also took off on work days because as an musician my work is physical. I schlep racks of synthesizer modules, a PA mixer and amp, two 38lb speaker cabinets, a dozen stands, one saxophone, two guitars, one wind synthesizer, one tactile MIDI controller, and enough cables to look like spaghetti.

It takes us (duo) and hour and a half to set up and an hour to tear down. In between all that is 3 or 4 hours of bliss making music.

I think as long as I am walking, and I'm walking at a brisk pace, I'm doing myself a favor.

Sometimes the motivation is just not there, but I do it anyway because I like the results.

I did 3 miles today. It was hot and humid, I was soaked by the time I was done, and I'll do it again tomorrow.
