It's even worse now. I guess it was so hot before, that it kept the mosquitos away at night. Now it's still too hot in the day, but mosquitomania at night

August Activity Challenge

Finished my 14.8mi a while back. Wife finished her close move 13x on day 13.
I don't know about Mosquitos, but I live in the Bay Area and we have Fires burning around us. The Air Quality is not good and they say don't be outside very much.
I do think this is a flaw with the Apple watch, Covid, and the challenges. I know it's all algorithmic, but I really wish these challenges were out to meet expectations of the times. I would actually like to see them mix it up a bit and instead of doing Calories, Exercise, or meeting your activity rings, maybe having something to do with breathing and meditation or something else that doesn't require being outside a lot.
I have 2 August challenges, this month:
1. Close all rings 30 times: 21/30
2. Exercise minutes: 3274/4450
1. Close all rings 30 times: 21/30
2. Exercise minutes: 3274/4450
I still have to burn 1,883 calories / day for 3 days. 
Going for it but it’ll be close.

I still have 121 Exercise minutes to go. That's doable in 4 days.
1,400 exercise minutes done with! Let’s see what next month holds for me.
Good luck to everyone still working on their challenges!!
August challenge, 195.5 KM: done!
This one was pretty tough, to be honest. But I’m curious for the next challenge.
Congratulations to everyone achieved their challenges!
And of course: best of luck to everyone still working on their challenges!

YO ADRIAN!! I DID IT!!!
I’d been tracking ahead of schedule pretty much all month and I knew last night that I’d hit it today. Not sure when I crossed the threshold but I did.
I also passed my 1,250th move goal this week.
So today I celebrated all of this by ordering a new MacBook Air.
After a slow start (I came down with some kind of cold at the beginning of the month) I was lagging behind, but I could catch up during the remainder of the month and I finished the challenge two days early (burn 32000 kcal). This gives me two days of rest before gearing up for the September challenge. Congrats to all!
Finished my challenge and got the National Parks badge today. I just made a thread about how anti-climatic it feels.

Done yesterday with the National Park. Today hopefully I’ll get the Perfect month.
I wasn’t even aware of this one. And Sunday is normally just a blowoff day for me exercise wise. But it’s only 1030 pm here. I may need to go for a walk now.
I changed my phone and when I restored it, I got a new challenge. The Activity app on the iPhone only shows one, though.
