If I swing my left arm (watch arm) while riding my bike slowly, will it count it as a run?

I've run about 35 5k's this year so far. This will be doable as long as the weather holds.

If people only realized that running is one of the worst forms of cardio in terms of the wear and tear on your joints (yes, even on treadmills although that is better than running outdoors). Have fun running now, because you will be hobbling with a cane or walker later, depending on how long you make it. There are far better ways to get your cardio in than running. It's 2025, not 1897.

The animated stickers look good. Don't think I will be able to get this done though!

Yeah, I'm mostly a four to eight miles every other day sort of guy. So long as it isn't raining I'll be doing it.
I've done a few four mile runs as feelers and would love to get up to 10k's. I just need to be very cognizant of pacing. I know it will have to be sooner than later as we are about to get into humid part of the year and that always kills my running.

Maybe a goal for the fall if my knees cooperate. ;)
