My daily step counter hit 15,000 for the first time since my knee surgery in March.

I was just doing my normal errands and didn't even realize I'd passed my old record until my watch buzzed, which felt like a quiet middle finger to my physical therapist who said I'd be 'lucky' to hit 12k by July.

My buddy had a similar thing happen after his ankle surgery. His doctor told him to keep his walks short, but he ended up accidentally hiking three miles on a trail with his dog last month. He said the little victory buzz from his fitness tracker felt better than any praise from the doctors.

That's wild, @the_faith, reminds me of an article on how fitness trackers can mess with recovery goals.

Wow, I used to think those trackers were all good.
