So far I am on track for my monthly goal - close all three rings every day.
Got a tip for us?

I'm at 121.6 out of 178.2 miles. Maybe I might be able to complete it this week.
I'm at 2360 of 3350 Exercise Minutes for the July Challenge . Been doubling down on the exercise bike indoors to push it...As a new week starts I've been thinking of whether to 'charge' to the finish or meter down to see what kind of Challenge is offered for August. Whichever I decide I'll try to stick with to see if , as someone posted awhile ago, a slower finish leads to a more 'realistic' August Challenge.
Glad mines easy (for me) as this heat makes it so hard. Did a 2 mile run at 6:15 am as it was already too hot in the garage for the cross trainer.
I have started doing some runs first thing, before I go into the office, since I can definitely get in a run then. And I do notice the (relatively) nicer temperature and humidity then.
Just back from a walk this evening for that very same reason.
I just suck it up and run in the heat and humidity in the late afternoon. I’m a masochist 😂. You do get used to it though after a few times.
Same here - after running in South Carolina and Florida when I was younger, I have gotten used to the heat and humidity.
Nowadays I do a bit of both - I run in the morning on days I have to go into the office, and run in the afternoon on days I work from home.
Did my morning run. Skipped the lunchtime walk (too hot). Will go for a walk or run later.
Will probably do an afternoon walk today...1:15 and only 84℉ with all clouds and a slight breeze. Low humidity. Best afternoon in weeks! Did a small walk yesterday evening under pretty much the same conditions. If only it were to last....but, August is coming!
Well, at least you got in a mile. Even if it wasn't the distance you wanted, it is better than no distance at all. 🏃♂️
I understand, though - I like to get in one longer run, not multiple shorter workouts.
But sometimes I can't do what I want.
27k of 37k cals....should be able to complete with a few days to spare.
I’m more about mixing it up. I get bored easily. Did a longer run this morning. So if I get a walk in later, I’m good to go.I understand, though - I like to get in one longer run, not multiple shorter workouts.

Ok, as stated above, I got a late start this month, putting myself behind the 8 ball so to speak. Was making good progress til last weekend when we took a road trip.
Month would have begun at 70 minutes needed per day. By the time I checked the goal and got dialed in, it was up to 79 I believe.
Got going on it and had it down to 71 again before this past weekend’s road trip that bumped it up again. I’m back down to 71 minutes per day needed on average.
I’m gonna get this one done, someway somehow!! Just gotta keep my normal routines up which will get me about 106 per day on weekdays. Weekends are a little more of a challenge for me, but if I hunker down and make sure I get out there for my regular 60 minutes on the elliptical on Saturdays, and then do something extra, I should make it.

Still have to wait until the end of the month for mine. Glad it hasn't been too taxing for me as its been unbearably hot this last week. Managed to set a new running record three times though.
Is there a way to see when I completed this challenge? I suspect next month is going to be tough
I just need 4 more days to complete my goal of closing all 3 rings.
7 of 9 days doubling my move goal. This month has either been hot or raining, but two more days should be do-able
6 more days of closing those rings. Then we will see what hours August has in store.
Same here. I wasn't sure if I could close all three rings every day, but as of yesterday I have been able to do just that (760 calories / 30 minutes / 12 hours standing). At this point I do not want to let up. 🏃♂️
I'm now 7.2 miles away from completing the challenge. Should be done in the next couple of days.
