At the beginning of September I said my newest goal was to do better Q3 than Q2 I knew it was going to be a tall order with some long walks this spring, but I thought I could do it. Well Q3 ended this week, how did I do?
| Time Frame | Steps | Miles walked | Miles biked | |
| Totals for 3Q | 758,057 | 316.3 | 31.66 | |
| Totals for 2Q | 489,726 | 300.5 | 98.36 | |
| Totals for 1Q | 0 ** | 61.88 | 150.65 | |
I did it!
Skin of my teeth, but I DID IT.
Time to finish the year out strong. Here are my Q4 #GoTheDist mini goals:
- get to the gym more often. That 31 miles biked is indicative of a larger problem. Walking is good, but so is the gym. I need to find a balance between the two. I think this will come somewhat naturally with the changing weather not being as conducive to walking home.
- Do better than Q1. This is weather driven, Jan-Mar are about as conducive to walking as Oct-December, especially since work is busier than the fall. Q1 was somewhat undercounted, when I got the Jawbone I realized I walked more in a given day than I gave myself credit for so this should be easy.
- Numerical goals, I was going to say one third better than my poorest showing for each total, but 82 miles seems too little. So 2/3 better it is. 102.7 miles walking and 52.5 miles on the bike. I’m hoping I’ve hit both by the end of November, but we’ll see.
** didn’t get the Jawbone Up until May, so no steps until then
