The Guy Who Tried to Walk Off a Breakup (Literally)

Devon didn’t want to talk about it. So instead, he walked.

He walked through his neighborhood. Through Prospect Park. Through rainy sidewalks and empty streets at 11 p.m. His phone tracked 13,000 steps the day after she moved out. And the next day? 14,200.

It worked, sort of. The quiet helped. The rhythm of his steps steadied him. But by week two, his knees ached. His ankles burned. The pain in his chest had simply shifted… downward.

A friend sent him a link to Groov with a message that just said, “This helped my dad. You’re not my dad, but still.”

Devon ordered a pair.

Now, he still walks—just not in pain. His feet land softer. His posture’s better. He’s not just walking things off. He’s walking forward.
