And since masks are no longer required in gyms, I hopped on a treadmill for the first time since the early days of the pandemic. I don’t want to run too much to avoid injury and shin splints, so I turned up the speed and ran for 90 seconds. And that felt good. My steps for the day: 21,149 steps /15.7 km.
