I usually walk with my husband at night once it’s dark and not one thousand degrees outside, and when I walk by myself I usually don’t listen to music. But the other day I put my Beats on and turned up the volume and I think I walked twice as fast and maybe even bounced a little 😆

I love Stone Fruit! It's about time for a reread. I'm on such a Lee Lai kick since I just read her upcoming book CANNON (an immediate best read of the year for me), which comes out Sept. 9. Highly recommend. I'm also a fan of Craig Mod. His walking and work ethic also inspires me. I can't be walking for hours a day either, so I'll have to adopt your model to take more phoneless walks and pay more attention to nature and my thoughts.

Unplugging on walks / commutes allows you to study human nature

I started doing this / recording my voice during walks instead of scrolling and I feel a lot less rushed afterwards too!! and it's fun to peek at what ppl r doing...
