Earthwalk Day 709 (1 January 2024), 7132 km: 2023 and beyond

Here’s today’s walk:

I’m been banging on the spreadsheet trying to get it to properly deal with the new year as well as the two previous. I think it’s right now. It tells me December was a pretty good month — down in steps per day and distance per day from November, but decidedly up from last December. It helps that I went for another bike ride on one of the warmest days of last month — which was Christmas. That time I did deliberately set out to cover distance, in particular more than 40 km, and I think that’s the first time I’ve done that distance in one ride in many years.

Average daily distance for 2023 was a little down from 2022, not by much. Average daily steps was virtually a tie. Number of bike rides was a tie.

A map showing my progress (as of last Friday) is here, a spreadsheet with progress detail is here, and a Google Earth KMZ file is in this Google Drive folder. Friday’s coordinates: 43.344°N, 112.435°W.
