After averaging almost 29k steps a day in 2024 I set a goal of over 30k steps a day for 2025 and for the first five months I achieved this comfortably.
Then the health issues kicked in.
My health story is long, complicated and unresolved. I would be as bored telling you about it as you would be reading it so all I will add is that the drugs are helping and I am now back up to 20k steps a day. I even managed 40k steps one day recently.
Many of the walks have been to new areas and new streets as I build my CityStrides LifeMap and this remains a great way to discover new things and to build a sense of achievement as the number of streets walked in each area (city/town/borough) grows.
I have set more modest targets for 2026 and these include the reasonably modest Go Jauntly Walk 2026 Challenge and Two Million March.
I also hope to redo London Capital Ring (anti-clockwise this time) and London Loop; hopes carried forward from last year.
