A bit over 4 today. Think that's just over 27 for me. Probably should add it all up.
Left the fitbit on the charger until after work. Oops.0 -

As my brother put it.. That line looks like you were drunk on a hover board flying over the city. Definite GPS errors. We'll call this 1 mile. Walk around Chicago Btwn meetings and train home.
28 for month.

An interesting comparison.... damned skyscrapers mess up GPS tracking everytime, every device I have. GPS tracked, versus manually mapping where I walked

Quite the difference Kim. Yep, those darn tall buildings wreak havoc with GPS & cell signals.0 -

Just figured out you can get total mileage at the fitbit site. I'm up to 141 for January, and would say 95% of that is outside (since I'm kind of a slug indoors sitting at my desk or in my comfy chair). It is funny to look at the graph for the month. I have mostly good days, and then about once every 8-9 days get only about 5000 counted. I have to pay attention to see if those are super-slug days or just my fitbit needed recharging!0

For slippery conditions I highly recommend YakTrax (though they don't last long) or IceTrekkers (much sturdier but don't walk inside in them). Since I walk to work in all conditions, they are critical for my safety. For something that looks pretty stupid they work really well. If you are putting them on boots, be sure to bump up the size you order or it will be a real wrestling match.beerbikegirl wrote: »Day5 over lunch.

Cynthia- I've been eying YakTrax for a couple years and wonder if they worked. Will also look at IceTrekkers (and send your notes to my sis-in-law ...they just moved to Denver in November, and she has already broken her wrist snowboarding. She's an anesthesiologist at the Childrens Hospital there. And while she loves Denver, love to get out and walk/hike, but the broken wrist has her concerned about walking/falling on ice. Both because of pain, and she needs her hands for her job. We were discussing yaktrax when I visited a couple weeks ago).
Good tip also about the fitbit totals. That made me noodle around a bit on their site. Month to dte I have 136 miles logged in the app. And I discovered I could highlight and copy paste all my logged activities into a spreadsheet. Took a tiny bit of formatting to make it truly useable, but now I have a great log that I can sort any way I desire! This makes this data geek very very happy. And to date in the dedicated walks of Jen's JanuaryJaunt I'm actually at 40.04 miles. My mental tally was slightly off - and that's with at least two misfires on getting the app/band start tracking (which is probably evened out by that extra half mile it added in Chicago

Interesting to see how far I pace in my rest periods betweens sets of weight lifting.
And shocking to see I have logged zero yoga this month. I don't log my morning/evening stretching- and won't bother...but this makes it easy to figure out what "new" exercise I'll do this week for the FB challenge - a full yoga session.0 -

Hammer, Kevin, TJ, Kris, Kim, DebSue, Chris, Cynthia & Jen:
Hey January Jaunters!! Here is your chance to inspire others. Again. Many of you have been doing that all along. But Jen and I thought a show about this would be a great listen & maybe drum up more folks for future challenges.
Google Hangout date/time: Thurs., Feb 12 @ 9 pm Central.
I know this time won't work for everyone, but I hope many of you can make it.
Please message me so I know you're IN for sure. We know who you are... You'll get a message from me or Jen if we don't hear from you! (Just to be sure people didn't miss this notice.)
Keep up the awesomeness!! Jaunt On!!!0 -
