Especially now that my watch is properly tracking the pace/mileage, it annoys me to step off to adjust my fan! I find the rhythmic sounds of my steps to be tranquil. That's odd, right? But hoping off for a few seconds is OK in my book and when needed I'll do it. Nothing wrong with that!TechChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960422420943812763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-91009268373699671972021-01-26T18:32:32.316-05:002021-01-26T18:32:32.316-05:00I wonder if mentally it would be easier to think o...I wonder if mentally it would be easier to think of my treadmill runs in k's instead of miles???
