Yesterday, I once again passed up my personal record for steps taken in a day, my new record? 31, 555 steps! I'm 11.6% finished with this project, not very far yet, but definitely covering the distance. I find it sad that for several Americans, the amount I traveled yesterday takes them a full month. to accomplish. Well, I'll press on toward the goal, as always.

Yesterday, I passed up my personal record for steps taken in a day, my new record? 25, 910 steps! Today was actually very similar to yesterday in terms of what I did after school, but the main difference was that I didn't have PE. As predicted, I am back on track now and will continue, as always, to press on toward the goal.

Four days ago, I shattered my personal record for steps taken in a day with an outrageous 25, 822 steps! Figuratively-speaking, I've just entered Arizona, I don't carry identification with me normally, so it is a good thing this isn't actual travel. I'm about 7 miles behind schedule, but that should be fixed by tomorrow with ease. I will press on toward the goal!

Recently I've been having trouble meeting my goal. For this week, I'll be walking over my usual daily goal to catch up. I'm about 35, 000 steps behind schedule, so I'll have to be hitting about 20, 000 on weekdays for roughly 2 weeks. My feet don't hurt right now, so I'm gonna go for a run right now as a way to press on toward the goal!

My stomach started hurting around 16000+ steps, probably unrelated. Fairly uneventful day, so I don't have much to say about it. Nonetheless, it was a good day. I will press on.

Today I didn't have to go for an extra walk. I went to school, walked back home, went to school again, had Physical Education where I had to run a mile then play basketball. By the time I walked home from school the second time, I had about 10, 000 steps. Then i had an appointment in a different city, so I traveled another 6000 steps or so getting there and back. The other 2000 came from just getting around the house and other little things I did throughout the day. Oh, also, my feet didn't hurt. I'll continue to press on toward the goal!

My feet hurt. In fact, they've been hurting every day I exceed 18, 000 steps. However, it has been hurting less as I continue to run and walk. Figuratively speaking, if I started in Los Angeles, I'm now 25 miles away from Palm Springs. I have a long way to go, I'm only about 3% done. I just need to press on toward the goal!
