I use a smart watch to count steps. Will I get to 5 million this year? I'm not neutral here, 5 million is my goal and I will take steps (pun intended) to achieve it.
Will post semi regular updates below
Rate is relative to needed pace to achieve 5m by year's end
"Rate needed" is how much I would need to do until the end of the year to achieve the goal (given current deficit)
Manifold just suggested this market to me - I'm trying to do 450k steps in November - https://manifold.markets/dlin007/will-i-walk-450k-steps-in-november. Up for some friendly competition?
@dlin007 sure :) I had a slow start to the month because of some travels, but I do plan to do 450k in November
@LuisPedroCoelho cool...I'm going to be around 175k steps at day 10. want to stake 4k mana each on who walks the most steps? Or 5k for me and 4k for you since you're starting a little behind.
@LuisPedroCoelho cool. i give updates every 2-3 days so around at least a 5-day cadence from you would work to calibrate my own efforts
@AlQuinn I do ~6k from commuting alone and most days I get to 9-10k without going out of my way at all (commute + other errands). I do run as well (the frequency of which I would like to increase)
I did almost exactly 4m in 2023 (4,005,510). That includes 3 weeks where I didn't measure (my old watch, which counts steps, broke, and since I was moving, I didn't immediately buy a new one—I would immediately buy a new one this year)
January was well below pace because of travel (both at the start with the summer holidays here in Australia and work travel later in the month)
