so about those February goals:
- 300,000 steps
- 50 miles biked
- Graduate C25K
Going to be harder with one less day than last year and a travel day or two, but I think this is doable. Feb 2016 total was 313, 153. I’m OK with a stretch goal of 305,000.
Yeah, obliterated. Thanks, Amsterdam. Final totals:
- 356,898 steps walked
- 152.88 miles walked (so b0rked with running stride)
- 33.07 miles biked
- 25.33 miles ran (new one, not really a goal but for tracking)
Yep, that topped even my “insane stretch goal”, which was 350K. I really thought I’d land somewhere between 345 and 350K. I’m not worried about the bike mileage as I’m maintaining my gym visits. Running wasn’t a thing when I set that number.
So what does this mean? I’m taking a run at my Q1 2016 goal. Probably impossible, but worth a try.
2017 year to date:
- 658,168 steps
- 280.04 miles
2016 through February:
- 614, 848 steps
- 253.04 miles walked
Why is this still a challenge when I’m so far up, step wise? Because March 2016 was an insane 394,098 steps. That’s not going to happen again because I won’t have two days walking around DC and might not have the two walking work events. I may still have some mild weather though, and running is helping with a higher step count overall.
So:
- Q1 super stretch goal: 1,008,946 (needs 350,778 steps)
- Q1 stretch goal: 975,000 (needs 316,832 steps)
- Q1 acceptable goal: 958,168 (needs bare minimum 300,000 steps)
- March super stretch goal, 365,682. 2015 March goal. Yeah, I need to find a way to do two walking work events.
- Reference point, Q1 2015 was 927,589 (needs 269,421 steps)
I think those are good goals to work with since topping March is off the table. Since I signed up for the Great Saunter again I’ll have the chance to get ahead of 2016 in May, but want to get ahead early if I can.
Fitting that I have three goals because March last year was the first month where my spreadsheet went insane with goals:
March 2016 goals gone berserk
Speaking of getting ahead, on the days below goal front:
- February 2016 – 6 days
- February 2017 – 7 days. Definitely two “oh fuck it” days.
Still ahead 3 year on year. March had only four and I’m not sure that’s doable, but we’ll see.
Reading:
Picked up some this month with shorter books and travel time so I’m at 13/91. 14% and one book ahead of schedule. Challenges wise that’s:
- #backlistreader = 8
- #ebookreadingchallenge = 13
- #librarylovechallenge = 6
If I have to revise those goals down due to running, I’ll think about it, but I really just need to make more reading time
