A year ago, I set a goal of 2,730,000 steps, an average of 7500 steps per day. Thanks to a combination of old age and my weight finally getting the better of me, I fell quite a bit short of my challenge, finishing well more than a million steps behind with only 1,528,938, the fifth straight year I’ve failed to surpass my yearly goal.  My average step total per week was 29,402.65, which comes out to about 4200.4 steps per day. The median weekly step total was 28,354.  My best week was Week 21, which just so happened to correspond with my trip to Seattle with Danny, propelling me to only 44,802 steps for the week.  My worst week was Week 14, where unseasonably cold temperatures took a toll.

For reasons I don’t completely understand, I’m going to keep things as is for the upcoming year, in the hopes that I can finally reverse this downward trend. I am leaving my goal for steps per day at 7500, which would again bring me to a yearly total of 2,730,000 steps. Hopefully this sixth attempt, now one would assume that I’ve gotten this WFH thing down pat, is the one that sticks.
