Here is the month of June in my Dates in a Life Walking Project 2025 painting, a year-long painting documenting the number of steps I walked each day. I have documented my steps in paintings since 2016.
The black icons represent up to 9999 steps walked each day, red represents 10,000-19,999 steps and yellow represents 20,000-29,999 steps.
I was able to walk 10,000 steps or more on eleven days in June. The weather was sometimes good for walking, and sometimes bad because it was very hot. I wasn’t able to walk as much as I would have liked. On June 24th it hit 102 degrees in the Boston area and part of that week was in the mid-upper 90s. Not Jeanne weather!
The Iridescent Bright Gold background paint used to signify the days (mostly weekends, but also including holidays, vacations days, and sick days) I was not at work, which usually gives me more time to walk for exercise than the days I am at work, with the exception of sick days (of course).
The second picture shows January through June with plenty of room for the rest of the year.
