Three years ago<\/a>, I started using a Fitbit Flex, and on my first<\/a> and second<\/a> anniversaries I let you know how I was doing. Now that another anniversary is here—on Star Wars<\/em> day<\/a>, as usual—how’d I do during that third year?<\/p>\n

Not as well as I’d hoped.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a fall I took midway through the year that banged up my left leg plus a bout of severe toothaches late in the year that made it hurt to walk (both of which I’ve recovered from by the way), I only took 3,900,704 steps over the past 12 months, versus 4,078,838 steps the first year and 4,107,515 steps the second. <\/p>\n

Still, 12,087,057 steps —which works out to 6,017.93 miles—over 36 months is far better than anything I was doing prior to buying the device. <\/p>\n

But I still broke a record thanks to my greatest single day ever—October 17, 2015, on which I took 35,294 steps, walking 17.57 miles through Brooklyn and Manhattan, breaking the first and second-year records of 28,398 steps (14.15 miles) and 35,283 steps (17.56 miles) respectively.<\/p>\n

As for step badges, here’s how many I’ve earned in total, plus the breakdown for each year.<\/p>\n

5,000-step badges: 359\/351\/347 (1.057)<\/p>\n

10,000-step badges: 301\/274\/256 (831)<\/p>\n

15,000-step badges: 49\/51\/41 (141)<\/p>\n

20,000-step badges: 10\/16\/7 (33)<\/p>\n

25,000-step badges: 3\/4\/3 (10)<\/p>\n

30,000-step badges: 0\/1\/2 (3)<\/p>\n
