I walked 100,000 steps which is 50 miles/80 KM yesterday AMA

Achievement

I've been building up to this for the past few years. In 2022 I was 265 lbs, drinking and eating way too much with no physical activity. It began with short walks around the block, then walks to the gym, started walking the local trails and eventually even did some marathon hikes. For the past few months I've had the number 100,000 in my head. Yesterday I did it. I pretty much just did the same loop over and over so I had access to my car with food and drinks and didn't have to carry a pack. My kids even came and walked with me for awhile. Thanks for checking out my story. Happy to answer any questions about walking, diet or fitness. Or cameras, I love talking about cameras.

Used my Garmin forerunner 965 for tracking 50 miles/80 km 100,000 steps Burned over 5,000 calories Ate 2500 Started at 2am and finished at 8pm with a few short breaks. Averaged 17:30 minute/mile Changed socks and shoes 3 times First 80,000 steps felt good, last 20,000 were one of the hardest things I've ever done 47 years old/185 lbs/
