March

A short post on the month of March, since the end of the month falls midweek:

I walked at least 10,000 steps every day in March.

I walked over 364,000 steps, my biggest month ever and more than 50,000 steps over my goal of 310,000 steps.

My biggest day was the third Thursday of the month, when Jubilee Democrats meet, and I walked 18,700 steps.

I have now walked at least 10,000 steps every day for 63 days in a row, and 87 of the 90 days this year. When I started this walking bit, I wanted to average at least 10,000 steps per day, not take 10,000 steps every single day. I am not the sort of person to be that dedicated to a goal, so I thought that some days I would come up a little short, and others days I would make it up. The problem with that was, it did not work, and I got behind. To get back on track, I settled into a routine that has allowed me to go a little over 10,000 steps every day, and I usually stick to that routine. When I don't, I find that I do not want to give back any of my progress, nor do I want to end my streak now, so I found ways to make up any missing steps and get to 10,000. It's working, so I will stick with trying to make it every day.
