Hi there @scotsbabe2016, good to see you again. I recommend to review your graph and compare each hour against your activity. Make sure you don't have manual activities that could increasing drastically your steps count.

 

To give you an example, I have logged a manual activity with short duration, but not taking care of the distance. As you can see, I achieved 5,503 steps in 15 minutes, which is not possible. (Only if you are fast enough, which I'm not) All this because I enter a random number of miles. Keep in mind that your distance is based on the amount of steps and with manual activities the same principle applies. So this might be one of the reason you achieved a high amount of steps, but I'm just guessing, is better that you review this on your Activity History.

Keep me posted how it goes, I'll be here if you need more suggestions.
