I’m Matt, and welcome to Steady Beats. If you like to walk for a better life, and also like Dire Straits’ “Walk of Life,” you just might like this newsletter. It was a whirlwind trip over a the weekend, to see my sister, her family, and the Spartans. Know this: the Michigan State football program, at this moment, is best described as a tire fire in a contaminated dumpster floating down a polluted river.
This is so well-timed. Everything you wrote describes my latest work-trip, which included foregoing exercise to catch up with a couple of friends here in Denver in my spare windows. I'm sitting on a plane as I read this. Been gone three days and the only exercise has been exactly as you describe, walking instead of using the automated systems. It's really not very hard to get your steps in with a couple of flights in a day. But the long hours sitting on a cramped flight is the worst. Looking forward to getting home and getting back on my bike.
The seats are now so closely packed together on the flights that yesterday the man next to me had to apologize for accidentally taking off the sweater I was wearing when he got hot.

Love it. I'm not sure if the flying experience just continues to get worse or I'm just getting old and crotchety.
It's quite possibly both.
