A tremendous work week, with every day over 7000 steps, nearly ended with my second 50,000 step week of the young year. Even Saturday and Sunday, thanks to trips to the miniature golf course and Wrigley Field, were above average, with nearly 5000 steps each.
Total steps: 49,708
Daily average: 7101.1
A somewhat disappointing week, with 3 days under 4000 steps but the other 4 over 6000. Meetings caused Wednesday’s total to be bad, while the weekend was kept down thanks to unfortunate trips to US Cellular Field to watch bad baseball.
Total steps: 39,040
Daily average: 5577.1
A good week that saw the entire week, sans Sunday, above 5800 steps, with 2 days well above 11,000 steps thanks to a trip up to Minnesota. After a 4 day work week, I took the supposed 7 hour drive up to Minneapolis on Friday, stopping in Madison for some mini golf. After arriving in Minneapolis, there was a 1.2 mile walk from the hotel over to Target Field. Saturday included a trip out to the Mall of America for some more mini golf, a mirror maze, and general traipsing. Once we got back to the hotel, there was some more walking to find a place for lunch, before another trip to Target Field that night. Sunday’s low total could be chalked up to driving 8 hours to get home.
Total steps: 52,516
Daily average: 7502.3
A pretty decent week with two blips along the way. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all surpassed 6500 steps and Saturday was up over 5500. Tuesday was a busy day, which was spent mostly in meetings. Sunday could have been better, but a trip to the Cell did get me above 3000, which is a step up from last weekend.
Total steps: 42,860
Daily average: 6122.9
Another pretty good week, with my highest total since heading to San Diego back in April, with the entire work week surpassing 6000 steps and 3 of the days above 8500. Nothing too far outside the norm until Friday, where a trip to US Cellular Field for Grinder Bash pushed my total well above 12,000. Saturday was disappointing only in that I finished a scant 48 steps below the 5000 step mark despite a trip to the mall and a bowling outing. Sunday, while well below my goal of 5000 steps, did manage to have more than the negligible amount I have been getting.
Total steps: 51,356
Weekly average: 7336.6
A tremendous week, despite a lackluster Sunday, that ended with 6 days over 6000 steps and 3 over 8000. A concerted effort to get out during the day during some lull times has helped during the work week. Saturday benefited from 3 trips to the grocery store and a walk around the neighborhood. Sunday was spent relaxing my sore feet.
Total steps: 48,796
Weekly average: 6970.9
A tremendous work week, with every day above 6000 steps and 2 days checking in over 10,000, followed by another in a long line of lackluster weekends. The week started off with a bang on Monday, with a 10,000 step day thanks to a conference call that I took while walking around the campus. The rest of the week was pretty ordinary until Friday, which was Family Day down at Wrigley Field. My nephews, my sister, and I headed downtown to take a trip to the Bean before heading north for the festivities at the Friendly Confines, including a spirited game of catch in the outfield grass. Saturday and Sunday both featured trips to US Cellular Field for exciting White Sox baseball, but very little in ways of steps.
Total steps: 46,445
Weekly average: 6635
A disappointing week got off to a slow start on Memorial Day, where I failed to even reach the 2000 step mark. The shortened work week had some better results, with 3 of the 4 days over 5000 steps. The weekend continued to disappoint, with both days failing to cross 4000 steps, despite baseball games both days.
Total steps: 33,228
Weekly average: 4746.9
Well, a good week was on the books from Monday through Friday, then the weekend kind of put the kibosh on things. The work week all came in over the 6000 mark, with Friday coming in closer to 9000 thanks to the trip to Naperville for the Adam Carolla book signing. Saturday and Sunday both involved trips down to the Cell for exciting baseball, but neither day was spectacular despite taking the ramps both days.
Total steps: 42,216

As I detailed somewhat last October, Garfunkel and Oates were coming to town. I had made plans to attend with two friends from work, but they dragged their feet on getting back to me and all of the seated tickets were sold out. When they found out we would have to *gasp* stand for the show, they bailed, leaving me with 2 extra tickets. Seeing as it was the start of my birthday weekend, I decided to head down to the Abbey Pub without them and enjoy myslef as much as I could. And enjoy myself I did.
The show started with a comic whose name escapes me at this point. Once he finished his set, the girls came out and did their thing, mixing banter between themselves with their comedic songs. In addition to the “hits” from their existing albums, they performed some of their newer songs, including Bernadette’s Song, which they wrote and had debuted on The Big Bang Theory the night before, and God’s Loophole, an exciting ditty about anal sex.
Once the show finished, both Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci came out to sign autographs and take pictures. I got their autograph on one of my three tickets for the night and got my picture taken with both of them, which has been my Facebook profile picture ever since. If they were to ever come back to town, I would definately go see them again. Meanwhile, I’ll look forward to their IFC show, which should be coming out sometime this year.
