I told my dad about this market
and asked him if he could walk 100,000 steps in a day. For some background, he loves walking, taking about 25,000 steps in a normal day. He's also very fit because he walks and exercises a lot. He said that he's strongly considering trying to walk 100,000 steps in one day next year. I think he's taking it as a fun challenge. Will he do it next year?
He's never really intentionally tried to take a ton of steps in one day, but he has unintentionally walked 50,000 steps before.
I'll provide updates on this. Feel free to ask me questions too. I won't bet because I have insider info

@AlQuinn 120000 is crazy though. Most people are finishing 100k step challenges with little time to spare
@traders he's going to bed now and plans to wake up at 6:30am tomorrow to get ready and start his walk. He'll text me updates and I'll forward them to you all. Let's see if he can do it!
@AlQuinn Yeah, he has a route planned. Don't want to give too much away about our location but he has this loop that he planned out and he's going to do it twice to get to 100k steps
He said that he's going to try to walk the 100k steps in the last week of December or first week of January (the coming one). And he'll try again if he fails. So we have the whole year for him to successfully be able to do it! @traders
How old is your dad?
How cold does it get on a typical day in each of March, July, and November where your dad lives?
Would your dad count steps on a treadmill for this challenge or would it be fully outdoors?
Did you tell your dad that you weren't betting on him? If so, did he seem disappointed?
@MagWildwood He's 53. We live in the SF Bay Area so climate shouldn't be a big issue (aside from a few hot days and whatnot). He's planning on doing the whole thing outdoors (we don't have a treadmill). He doesn't seem to mind that people are betting on him, maybe he even likes the challenge.
@MarcusAbramovitch I talked to him about his plans and the whole thing is going to be outdoors (maybe he might briefly go into a store or something to buy food and those steps would register but that's it)
