Is running a more efficient way to travel than walking? Does running burn less calories per distance traveled than walking? If so, how fast burns the least calories per distance? And if walking is more efficient - what’s the most efficient walking speed.

For the past 829 days, I’ve been recording my calories - what I’ve eaten and what exercises I’ve done - in MyFitnessPal. I’ve also been recording my weight almost every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

It’s open enrollment season, which means it’s time for my wife and I to select our health insurance for next year.

Sometime back in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, I turned to my wife and asked her “what would you do if I said I wanted to start running?”

For me, routine is everything. Every weekday morning, I get up with my son, get dressed, have him go potty & get dressed, and then make breakfast for the both of us. If for some reason I go off routine, I end up forgetting something.
