Sunday overnight into Monday morning. Eight and a half hours, almost two miles of restless laps. Weekend NOC shifts are quieter — fewer tickets, fewer calls, more time alone with the hum of the equipment and whatever’s in your head.

Started tracking these walks because the Fitbit was already on the wrist. Might as well know how much ground you cover in a shift. Strava doesn’t have a category for “engineer pacing while waiting for a maintenance window,” so walks it is.

Two miles spread across eight hours. The slowest cardio imaginable. But the networks stayed up, and so did you.
