I averaged 28,811 steps a day in 2024

I very mixed year for walking mainly thanks to health issues, generally I am fit and can easily manage 30k steps in a day but I had several stays in bed for a few days and a couple of operation too both of which seriously eat into walking time.

At times during the year I was hoping to average 30k steps, and was on target to do so, but flu type illnesses hit me hard in November and December and in the end I had to settle for just under 29k steps, which I am very happy with.

My totals for previous years are:

• 2023: 27,080
• 2022: 29,142
• 2021: 26,128
• 2020: 27,919
• 2019: 23,908
• 2018: 19,365
• 2017: 18,047

The big jump from 2019 is because I retired and had lots more time for walking. That shows that I am spending my retirement well!
