…begins with a single step. This pedometer geek hasn’t been too vigilant this year about reporting either the miles or the steps made throughout the months. Nor has there been any blogging about the books read and challenges attempted and/or met, but I digress.
Having said that, this pedometer geek decided to continue the challenge of walking 1000 miles as her Bookcrossing.com friend in Great Britain has been doing. Actually, based on the total mileage from last year, this pedometer geek upped the year’s goal to 1500 miles.
As of yesterday, August 27, the goal of 1000 miles was met. Breaking it down by months, the miles and steps were as follows:
January: 108 miles 256,113 steps/46,582 aerobic steps
February: 109 miles 258,063 steps/52,936 aerobic steps
March: 135 miles 318,824 steps/79,457 aerobic steps
April: 143 miles 322,601 steps/36,275 aerobic steps
May: 123 miles 291,422 steps/24,342 aerobic steps
June: 131 miles 312,328 steps/34,789 aerobic steps
July: 139 miles 327,606 steps/21,585 aerobic steps
August: 112 miles (so far)
During the first seven months, there were 129 days in which the goal of 10,000 steps was met. Four of the seven months, the overall goal was met and a few of Healthcode.org’s Million Mile Month challenges were also met.
Now, the pedometer geek has to complete the other 500 miles before the end of the year.
nbsmithblog...random digressions and musings 
I’ve slacked off this summer. There was a contest for our health insurance in the spring and I gave it my all… and it just took up too much time. So now I’m happy to make 5 miles a day and some days I’m not even doing that. I’ve been getting at least the minimum of 5,000 sometimes 10,000. But I’m just not worried anymore about getting 15,000 steps a day. I’m still active but I’m done with overdoing it.
We are about at the same mileage this month 🙂
Keep up the good work and enjoy life!

Well, I averaged over 10,000 steps in August, but definitely slacked off yesterday when we drove six hours round trip to see the newest member of our family. My younger son and his wife just had their second child, a boy named Oliver who joins his brother Matthew. Now, that is enjoying life (holding a newborn child in one’s arms). ~nan
That and getting to meet friends…see you in September
