I'm wearing my alternate counter this morning as I am not seeing the usual amount of steps recorded after a run. Need to see if I'm making excuses or sitting too much.

7/28 - 17,565 - includes run and calisthenics - Hmmm - Will wear alternate again.
7/29 - 10,908 - afternoon walk - My alternate counter just became my primary counter.
7/30 - 12,531 - includes morning tennis


Average for July is 10,134. I'm actually pleased with considering that I had two vacations, and last week noticed that my counter was not counting correctly.

Average for July is 10,134. I'm actually pleased with considering that I had two vacations, and last week noticed that my counter was not counting correctly.

I did not realize how much of a challenge vacation would be between days that I biked, walked on the beach with no counter or just sat and watched the waves.

I doubled check my step counter yesterday just to make sure and it is working fine.

What brand of step counter was the one that was not counting correctly?

Dancing - My sportline is the one missing steps. May need a battery. Now I'm using a New Balance that I got at Target. It seems to be working well and fits a little more snug on my waistline.

This is funny. It was my New Balance that was missing steps several months ago and I bought a Sportline to compare/replace it. When I called New Balance - after some cajoling - they replaced my failed counter for free.

I ended up being about 9,000 steps shy of my goal of 310,000 for the month Disappointing to close the month so close but I've had some personal issues this week that have taken up all of my time at night so I haven't made it out for a walk since Sunday... Now I just have extra determination to meet the 310,000 for August!
