Alle die Schritte
I think I'm done counting my steps. I've had my step counter on my phone going since March for my own amusement. I do have to say it habitually undercounts my steps, especially on Sundays when my phone spends much of the time sitting on the counter doing absolutely nothing while I'm doing laps around the church with little men (we tend to get there early so we walk around to help the boys settle). There's also the steps before I even grab my phone in the morning (it hangs out in the kitchen to charge. I do not and never will keep my phone on the nightstand. And the steps after I plug it in for the night. I guess if I was serious about counting steps I'd get a watch or something that I put on first thing and took off last.
What I am actually interested in is stats while I'm riding, but I've got other priorities before getting into tech for that.
Anyway, here's the stats:
I started in March and averaged 10,463 steps a day.
The highest week that month averaged 12,355 steps.
The most steps walked was on March 8th with 18,910 and that was the most ever. Of course that included a good, long ride on Bud in all three gaits.
April averaged 10,263
The highest week averaged 10,604
The highest day the 19th with 18,430
May averaged 7,347
The highest week averaged 8,261
The highest day was May 6th at 12,913
May was weird because we were in Utah for a week and my phone did a lot of sitting in the car or in the ranch house so I actually averaged a whole lot higher than that.
June averaged 7,324
The highest week averaged 8,068
The highest day was the 9th at 13,183
June is when I realized that the battery in my phone was starting to have problems so it spent some more time being plugged in instead of on my person. I got a new battery and while it usually lasts the day it doesn't last as long as the battery did when I first got the phone, which is annoying.
July thusfar averaged 7,029
The highest week was 9,073
The highest day was the 18th at 12,269.
The beginning of the month the old battery was really dying. I'd have to charge it by 11am most days, which sucked.
Summer is also low on the steps list because fewer lessons and I spent more of the lessons sitting because I have to be out in it for 3-5 hours a day whereas the student is there for about an hour. Getting heat stroke or exhaustion is high on my avoidance list.
I will note that days I mucked my step count was much higher than on days I didn't. I am also happy that one of my working students has returned! It was nice getting the stalls done Saturday and being able to get the arena done today, and because it was done twice in seven days (did the arena Thursday) there were no fly larva as I raked it up, YAY!
Tomorrow is Tristan's first day of school. I have Molly the mare and I'll also be meeting with Debbie and her mini donkey Pebbles tomorrow. We'll see what type of trouble/fun I can get into with a mini donk!
