Did
you hear that? It was the sound of one of my personnel record being
broken.
Previously,
Apr 27 was my most “Steps in a Day's” record. On that nice and
sunny day, I went out and walk 26,464 steps.
Records
are nice but they have to be beat once in a while, yesterday, in a
perfect day, with my MP3 playing tune in my head, I broke that record
and step 28,009 times!
Just
to give you an idea of what is involved, it takes me an hour to walk
7,500 steps. So I was out walking for about 3 hours and 45 minutes.
Now I didn't walk that long in one shot, I stopped for a few pit
stops and to recharge my MP3. The distance was 20 KM (12.4 miles),
it's almost half a marathon!
I
want to walk over 2 more personal record in the next 8 days:
Most
Steps in a Week which is 150,890 steps (Apr 27 - May 3, 2015). I
already have walks 91,226 steps this week so for the next 3 days, I
have to walk an average of 19,888 steps (I'll round it up to 20,000
just to have a little cushion.
Most
Steps in a Month which is 489,907 steps (Apr 2015). Currently for
July, I am at 384,857 steps. There is 8 days left so if I maintains
13,132 steps per day, I'll have crush that record too.
Why
put myself through that? I don't have a logical answer but man kind
walk on the moon, climb Everest, run marathons just because they
could.
What a fantastic record breaking event. Good on ya', Richard.
ReplyDeleteWhat do they say... One small step for man kind, and all that other motivation thingy!

I kept looking back to see if you are following in your father foot steps LOL
DeleteWow Wow WOW! That IS a lot of steps. I think my record is about half that so far. It does feel good to break personal records from time to time, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt is easy, I just go down hill, with the wind on my back!
DeleteWow, that is spectacular! Way to go. You should be very proud. I love to walk but I don't think I've ever walked that long at one time. I'll take this as a challenge :)
