YES

@dlin007 is running a market whether he'll walk 450k steps in November:

I have a longer bet for 5 million steps in 2024, which would imply around 450k in November:

David challenged me for a little friendly competition, so I am making it a public market and I will bet on myself (i.e., on the YES) with a 4k limit order at 50%

It resolves NA if I cannot determine who walked the most steps

This resolves YES (my final count was 509,628 steps)

I do want to thank @dlin007 for the challenge. This really pushed me these last few days! My main goal (5m for 2024) is now easily in reach as well whereas at the start of the month, it was doable, but hard!

@LuisPedroCoelho jeez, that is a lot of steps. so even my planned 75k steps catchup strategy might have failed. GG

My final step count for November is 462,269 which likely resolves YES in this market. I thought I had an ace up my sleeve by planning 3 25k days to end the month but in the end I was too fatigued and semi burnt out to walk that much. Congrats @LuisPedroCoelho !

"""
In the final four days, I averaged >21k steps per day.

Rain on the morning of the 30th threatened to end the good streak, but in the afternoon, the rain stopped and I got 22k steps in.

Total for november: 509,628 steps.
"""

After 26 days, total: 422,714

A bit of travel today and tomorrow is a high variance event (if I have free time for running/exploring, maybe the number of steps will be higher than usual; if not then it will be lower than usual and I will have to make it up extra hard on the last 2 days).

I will publish the final tally on the 1st of December!

@LuisPedroCoelho it may not look like it, but I have you right where I want you now ;). see you in December

final update from me until the new month...with 4 days to go i'm at ~406k steps. next update as agreed with @LuisPedroCoelho is sometime on 1st Dec when the market will resolve

Through the 23rd, total: 370,415

At the end of 20 days, keeping pace with @dlin007 (314,042 steps). Rain on the 19th made it a slow day, but now forecast is that it'll get better.

After 20 days, I'm at ~310k steps and gathering momentum.

It seems that at the end of day 17, I am just slightly ahead (264,757)

The next few days may be a bit slower, though (still averaging >15k/day, though)

at the end of day 17, I'm now at 260k steps...500k might be slipping out of reach but i will make a strong push

I'm still behind @dlin007 (191,431 after 13 days), but catching up...

@LuisPedroCoelho I had a terrible last 2 days so it's quite likely at the end of today we'll be on par or you'll be slightly ahead - still only at 213k steps as of yesterday

At end of 10th,  total: 133,012

My target is 15,500 (which is what I'd need to get to 5m by year's end with a bit of margin for error)

@LuisPedroCoelho You can see the period when I was in Sydney (3-7 Nov) and did not get that many steps in

current step count: ~181k. taking a rest day tomorrow to give poor @LuisPedroCoelho a chance

bought Ṁ2 YES

@dlin007 @LuisPedroCoelho May both your IT bands stay loose and comfortable

@snazzlePop I see your curse and counter it with a cheap replacement bracelet from Temu

@LuisPedroCoelho my comment was sincere 🙂

@snazzlePop sorry, I misread it as uncomfortable:( loose normally chaffes

@LuisPedroCoelho all good. Good luck with your goals (and same to David).

I’m loving the return of the steps-walked markets. FUH’s epic about a year ago remains one of my favorite markets of all time, and it’s nice to now see some similarly ambitious challenges.

bought Ṁ4,070 NO

my current step count is ~150k so far so although I have poorer pedigree than Luis, I am going all out this month and you would be foolish to bet against me
