    I've recently started measuring and had some days 2500 and at least one day with 5500. I'm going to commit to May, tracking at least 4 days a week, and keep it over 5500. Cheers!

    I think I'm going to adjust things a bit and aim for 430 000 steps in May. It still works out to what I was originally aiming for but some days I'm under and some days I go way over.
