10 - 3,613 Busy with work
11 - 3,502 Feeling lousy
12 - 20,186 Trying to snap out of funk by hitting the gym; hoping it doesn't hit me back…
13 - 3,272 Still not feeling great
14 - 15,166 Feeling much better; go to gym.
15 - 8,000 Went for a long walk and run with dog, then realized I had forgotten to take my Fitbit (pedometer). Grrr!
16 - 13,232 Gym plus playing with my kids
17 - 20,234
18 - 12,404 First day of attempting to meet new goal of 13,000 steps, and already I failed! However, it could have been much worse; as of 8PM I had about 800 steps (yucky weather day) and was feeling pretty useless, so I went to the gym and stayed there 'till I reached 12,000.
19 - 13,008 Another poor day that I attempted to salvage by lots of late night running after I put the kids to bed.
20 - 15,161 Gym, long walk home from gym, errands, playing baseball with my son for 1.5 hours. Feet are sore.

26 - 17,511 Ran for 60 minutes with no stops (for the first time in my entire life!), plus other gym stuff and life stuff.
27 - 15,115 Yet another day in which I didn't get many steps until after 8PM, at which point I went on a 2.5 hour walking/running tour of this city…
28 - 14,171 Continuation of recent pattern; as of 7PM I had under 3,000 steps, so went to gym, plus a walk.
Average: 13,234
Total: 370,560
Goal: Didn't start out with one; generally, it's a minimum of 10,000 per day, but that got messed up a bit with all the travel and the funk I was in for a few days.
New Goals (as of Aug. 18):
400,000 steps for August.
Daily minimum for remaining days: 13,000 steps.

29 - 14,044 Some shopping for back to school supplies for my kids, walked one son to trumpet lesson (he wanted to take the car, but I explained that I was required to walk him there in order to meet my daily step goal; I carried his trumpet and music books as an added incentive), then power walked around that neighbourhood during the lesson, then walk back home. Then, late at night, the whole family took part in a "haunted hike" through the spooky downtown area of this city.

Bring daily average for the entire month up from 11,806 on 13 Aug to at least 13,000 by the end of the month.
Observation: Taking part in this challenge has compelled me to do lots of late night running and walking in order to meet my daily goals and avoid public embarrassment. Which, assuming I am not damaging myself, is a good thing, I guess…0 -

I like to think of it more as public encouragement rather than embarrassment. I know this challenge does get me out for evening walk most nights. My dog loves this challenge She never eat my homework
