#GoTheDist May 2016

My spreadsheet has gone berserk. Not only do I have columns for my monthly goal as well as to top the month the prior year, I have columns for 1m and 2m steps. Berserk! I didn’t top May 2015’s total, but I knew I wouldn’t. I’m a little disappointed in myself for the number of… Read More »

#GoTheDist: April 2016

April is the new March, weather wise. But still, a good month. 336,662 steps (topped April 2015’s 319,965 and am on pace for the million steps) despite some lower days than I’d have liked 138.48 miles walked (topping April 2015) 33.33 miles biked (again topping April 2015) I’m happy with that as a start to… Read More »

Of those, 25 count toward the TBR challenge. I’m pretty happy with both of those numbers and I’ve since finished another that counts toward… Read More »

#GoTheDist: February 2016

Much like I had a mega day in January 2016 and February 2015, I had one in February 2016. A 30K day, to be exact. That helped me counter a few lower days and one 1500 step day (sick day). Thanks to that day, February went gangbusters. February 2016 totals: 313,153 steps 128.84 miles walked… Read More »
