Well, things started off looking like another disappointing, ho-hum week until Thursday, when a combination of a meeting in North plaza followed by a post-work pub crawl and the midnight showing of Batman led to 2 above average days, including the first day over 10,000 steps since April 9th. Saturday included a trip to the Cell for Grinder Bash, a party for White Sox season ticket holders.
We start off the second year of the Global Fit tracker much as we finished the first: with a lackluster week. The only bright spot was Tuesday, which benefited greatly from the Fiona Apple show downtown. A return trip to the city on Saturday for dinner at Fogo de Chao should have been good for walking, but timing forced me to drive instead of taking public transportation.
Well, the first year of using the Global Fit tracker has come to an end and I didn’t quite achieve the goal of 2,000,000 steps over the course of the year.
I did manage to finish within 10% of the goal and, more importantly, I also managed to keep it up for the entire year. Year 2 is now underway, and my personal goal is to improve on this year and hit the 2,000,000 steps, along with the ones I missed this year. So I expect to show 4,000,000 total steps by 7/11/13. Step 1 for that is the upcoming BTN Big 10K race that I signed up for. If only I could get out and start training for it.
The last week of the year saw record-breaking heat, which kept me in the house for both Thursday and Friday. Tuesday and Wednesday both benefited from baseball games.
A horrible week step-wise, but forgivable as I spent most of the week relaxing and recovering from my dental ordeal the previous Friday. The timing was not great in regards to the final push to 2 million steps for the year, but I will gradly trade that goal for a pain free mouth.
Well, the week got off to a good start on Sunday, and then quickly fell apart due to my toothache, dentist visits, and eventual tooth pulling on Friday. Honestly, with the way I was feeling, making sure I got my steps in was the furthest thing from my mind.
A somewhat decent week with 3 days over the 5000 step mark. Thursday and Friday fell off a bit and weekends continue to be a problem. I think it is pretty safe to say that I will not be hitting the 2,000,000 step goal by week 52.
Kind of a disappointing week, with only 3 days over 5000 steps. With only 4 weeks left until the 1 year mark, I’m really going to need to step (HA!) things up in order to hit 2,000,000 steps for the year.
Memorial Day weekend got off to a bit of a slow start, but then picked up steam that continued throughout the week. A well-deserved day off on Tuesday provided a nice respite from work and a chance for a bit of a longer excursion. Saturday benefited from a trip to Costco in addition to a Sox game.
Well, the week got off to a poor start with under 1000 steps on Sunday, but ended up being somewhat decent. Tuesday and Thursday both benefited greatly from morning meetings in Willow, which gave me an excuse to walk around the campus. Friday was helped by a trip up to the local FedEx Office location to drop of my bi-weekly packages.
