When I reached Garmin Connect Level 5 late last March, I wrote that reaching Level 6 could take years. I wasn’t counting on all the points I could pick up by tracking my steps. Just 11 months later, here I am at Level 6! I completed Level 5 in style on Wednesday by recording my highest single-day step count ever, 25,386, which earned me this badge and the last 2 points that I needed:
Those are probably my last points in February. I expect to complete the 8-point 60-Day Goal Getter challenge this Sunday, March 2, to get the new month off to a good start. That’s nice, but I will be working on Level 6 for a long time to come. Level 7 is a staggering 640 points away! That’s more than all of the points I have accumulated since I became a Garmin user way back on March 29, 2013. In a way this feels like starting over … and most of the easily earned badges are gone. I will rely on repeatable challenges and the occasional blowout effort.
My bigger objective in March is to get back on the bike. It will be all indoor work at first. There are some indoor cycling challenges on Garmin Connect, but none of them look very appealing at the moment. I want to prove to myself that I can tolerate 1 hour in the saddle before I commit to the 2-4 hours needed to satisfy Garmin.
