Just a suggestion but could be a nice motivator for some walkers/joggers...if you do track cumulative distance..then see about figuratively walking the length of your state or part of your nation. One of my employers for an employee fitness program had a great program for tracking employee's cumulative jogging distance...by tracking mileage across our own province, ie. who travelled in total halfway across the province. That is thousands of kms. I'm not a walker in the same sense as Dotsie, I just walk because I have to, because I don't have a car. I'm a cyclist. In some years, I did cycle the total annual distance equal to distance of the length of Canada...that is over 5,000 kms. Other years were under or I exceeded. Just think each group of steps each day, add up to something quite big.

I don't cycle with that type of figurative goal in mind. I used to put on my bike odometer during lst 5 years of cycling and tracked every day my mileage, meaning wrote in journal and any random thoughts while cycling/sights seen.
But since then haven't used odometer. I just try to cycle 5-6 times weekly during cycling season.
I'm just suggesting to other folks here ,something more creative to motivate you.

People should do what motivates them the best. If you try this method of just mechanically jotting down each day what you did and add up over 3 months...you might be pleasantly surprised.
I can calculate approx. how much I cycle annually, based on real measured distance. After all, my partner tracks his cycling mileage everdyay..so I know certain routes and their distances.
Note: I cycle 1/2 of the time solo.
because I have a convoluted daily work commuting route that combines commuter train, bike, bus and walking...all one-way(!), I can say at least for the walking part, I walk 1 way a total of 1/2 hr. ...to and from bus stop...every work day. If I don't bike that day, then it's 1 hr. in total walking during the round-trip commute, plus time on train, then bus. Yes, this is taking time...but at least I don't need to pay additional money to join a fitness club.
Being a slave to knowing every km., mile every day isn't useful for everyone, but it is useful just to even have a dimly vague idea of what you accomplish in 1/2 year.
