A year and a half ago, I set a goal to average 5500 steps per day, which would bring me to a yearly total of 2,002,000 steps.  When the GlobalFit program came to an end last February and I switched over to the Fitbit, I kept the same goal.  A year later, I have far surpassed those expectations, finishing with 2,604,933 steps.  My average step total per week was 49,568.8, which comes out to about 7081.3 per day.  The median weekly total was 48,978.  My best week was Week 32, which was my week in Toronto and upstate New York this past fall.  My worst week was Week 1, which fell victim to missing days due to not getting the Fitbit until a Wednesday night.

For the upcoming year, I plan to up the ante a bit.  I am upping my goal for steps per day from 5500 to 6000, which would bring me to a yearly total of 2,184,000 steps.  Seeing as I surpassed that total this year, with over 420,000 steps to spare, I expect I will have no issue with this.  As a stretch goal, I’ve joined up with some friends for 5K February, where I will surpass 3.1 miles (or a 5K) per day.  So far, so good.
