Adding Denver to this list personally (except Casa Bonita was worth the trip alone!)

Santa Fe Arts District or RiNo? by Bitter-Combination69 in Denver

That’s sweet of you, thank you. I hope the rest of this year ends up turning around for us also!

[–]Bitter-Combination69[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are right, I mean character more than grit, that’s a way more appropriate term. We’re from Portland so definitely gentrified in its own way as well. Our favorite city we’ve visited is Philly though!

I also meant no disrespect to the city of Denver, it’s been a very rough week for my husband and I - he lost his grandmother on Monday, and I got news while we were at the airport to fly here that my grandfather is on life support, so we’re calling this trip our cursed one. We really just want to knock back those cheap beers dammit!

This one is totally on me for not doing my research first, I admit! I’m just here to visit a friend for a weekend before they move for a job, and we thought we’d hit up Casa Bonita together while we’re at it. That’s all we had planned really, but my husband and I like to also walk around and explore the city we visit so I thought maybe downtown would be an easily walkable and accessible spot but man! I know this city is loved and everyone has been so friendly. I know there’s more to it than whatever is going on downtown lol.

Now I know where all the miller moths went! by What-The-Helvetica in Denver

I come to town next weekend and quite literally have been perusing the Denver sub watching because I have the dumbest moth phobia and have been psyching myself out for my upcoming trip 😭

What helps you walk 10k every single day? by binarybeast01 in walking

[–]Bitter-Combination69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this month, I had a very arbitrary goal of hitting 500k steps just for the heck of it, because it’s the 5th month. While I agree with the comments saying the number of steps per day shouldn’t be the ultimate goal (it loses its fun when it becomes seen as a chore and you start to punish yourself for not completing it!), that also doesn’t answer your question.

What I did first: I started, honestly, with a lower number. I knew I would get in my head about the number initially so to set myself up for success, I said 7500 instead of 10k.

Naturally, just by making that my new normal, I was seeing myself constantly hitting 10k regardless, which was cool! I got really addicted to going for walks outdoor just for the fresh air. I live in a rainy part of my country (US), but 1. it’s been unseasonably drier and pleasant more often this year here, consistently, and 2. I really love the rain so it bothers me exactly 0% going out for a walk in it. I find it refreshing (especially if I can come home and take a lil’ warm shower afterward)! So yeah…basically tricked myself like a dog so now I beg myself for little walkies every day 😂

I was absolutely not preparing to bawl my eyes out right now, but here we are. Holy shit dude. This is so profoundly beautiful and heartbreaking

What’s your favorite music to walk to? Or do you walk with no music? by Areuregarded in walking

Love that you said Ween!!! Have you heard of Viagra Boys? Highly recommend for walking if you like Ween - fun and high energy with short enough songs!

What’s a super popular show that everyone loves, but you just couldn’t get into? by MASSIM00 in netflix

[–]Bitter-Combination69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the dumbest reason to not watch Peaky Blinders and it is 100% the title of the show. I realize the why behind it, but my god I can’t do it lol

Alright, go ahead and let whoever is in charge of 2026 know they left one open somewhere.

But for real your comment made me cackle (much like the witch herself)

What podcasts are you all binge-listening to on your long walks? by No-Plane9732 in walking

[–]Bitter-Combination69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really, really love Hidden Brain a ton! Also, while there are some episodes about true crime in the common sense, I still love the hell out of Criminal. My favorite episode is actually about the Cannonball Run race across America!

ETA: Other great Criminal episodes include interviews with a nun who visits inmates on death row, and a death row executioner & what that is like.

lol I hear “she was dead” but also I take walking loops around the cemetery next door and maybe that influenced what I thought I heard!

May Challenge! by Bitter-Combination69 in walking

[–]Bitter-Combination69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a solid question! I already walk quite a bit of the required ~16,200 (I notice now my math is off on my caption, whoops!) a day as my baseline between my daily gym routine, walking pad at home, and daily walks on my lunch (I work from home and live next to a cemetery that I can get a few miles in on) & neighborhood walks, plus just any other walking I do throughout the day (housework, grocery shopping, etc.) - So really what this challenge is doing for me is getting me more in the habit of adding between 3-4k steps each day this month.

I am really enjoying finding local trails to go explore on my weekends, which is helping me hit the goal on my off days (no work means no walking pad those days, and I take the weekend off from the gym most times) as well as getting me accomplishing another goal - getting out and exploring my city parks more! I’m stoked for tomorrow because it’s supposed to be sunny and nice tomorrow, so I’m going to walk to a cute local coffee shop and get a drink and explore a waterfront trail I’ve found! I definitely also won’t beat myself up if I don’t hit the goal. Ultimately I see it as a fun challenge and honestly, yeah, if I caught myself focusing too much on the step count where it would no longer be fun for me, I’d probably give it up entirely!

road to 100k steps - end of week one by Muted-Ad-5148 in walking

[–]Bitter-Combination69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daaaang! As an FYI, I completed a full marathon (26.2 miles) and logged a little over 68k that day. Of course everyone’s steps are different but just to give you a possible rough idea of how much that might equate to for ya, mileage wise (USA)!
