Zoom has me counting steps. For years I have watched one of my colleagues take time to walk in place, during meetings, breaks, whenever.
If an average goal is 10,000 steps a day (so they say) well, any day I take a run I kill half that. However, what about days I do not run? Then it is closer to 4,000. So, I will take the stairs. It makes a difference!

And yet, 10,000 steps is a lot! I would need to take a walk around the block in addition to a morning run. A couple of walks around the block.

The US LP release of the album Café Bleu. This is my wife's version, the LP she had and that we listened to a number of times on my solo visits to NYC in late 1994. I most strongly remember it from my second visit, which was in October. It was fall in New York and she showed me her part of the city and we held hands in the crisp and lovely autumn air.
So, this album, this version, takes me back to both the mid 90s as well as the mid 80s, when the eponymous single had airplay (or at least show play on MTV) and also the general mood of sophisticated pop.
We thought our lives were complicated. We had no idea.

Usually, when I post an album for running I just don't include the songs the songs I skipped or those I didn't get to. With this album I feel the need to explain myself.
*Blue Café is too slow for running, and an instrumental. The other two have always stood out to me because they don't match the mood of the rest of the album. I love those songs, but I wanted to keep the autumnal vibe today. Most days, really.
Mick's Blessing was cut for time.
