If only the increment was that small. I had a 130 mile challenge a while ago, just about finished it after going out of my way. Then two challenges later got a 169 miler 😭
Congrats to those who got the challenge.
Unfortunately for me, mine was 261 miles. My watch became locked and I couldn’t unlock it as I got a message to many unlock attempts. This during my long run of 18 miles. Had to unpair / repair and lost my 18 miles that would have put me over my challenge. 😬

Just in case anyone was wondering if I got that last minute in. I did. And then some. That screenshot was actually from about 3-4 days ago.
Didn't think I would make this month happen because of this:

Get well soon ! And I’m sure you know this but behave yourself and watch out for infection!
🩹I took a dive this past Thursday morning, but nowhere near as serious as yours. Man, those pictures look scary.
When I doing my early morning (I leave the house around 5:15 AM) in the neighborhood, my foot caught on a sidewalk "gap" where there was about an inch vertical difference between 2 slabs of concrete. I hit the sidewalk a little hard, but sprung back up and kept running.
Got home and saw a circle of blood on my kneecap about an inch in diameter. Now it is scabbing over and I got in a 11.7 mile run this morning, so not too bad.
Here is my medical advisor telling me to suck it up and go run.

Watson is so good looking after his human! I had a bunny who would lick my (eczema) scabs
but i had to stop her when she started eating them as i was worried it was bad ! (Gross i know ha) but it was her way of grooming and loving me 
Get well soon ! And I’m sure you know this but behave yourself and watch out for infection!🩹
When you say "behave yourself and watch out for infection" what on earth are you implying 😂😂😂
Hmm...the instructor you liked...was in your home...yet: it was 'Hell'? Oh well, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar....I get that... I'm having some joint issues, and it's DAMN HOT here, so some of the goals I can see as being 'Sublimate yourself by...'
One I thought was harder than crawling through broken glass drenched in Purell. But I woke up, and realized I still had a week until the next goal.
I have a Peloton, and the first month I rode it every day, I started having dreams that the instructor I liked was in my home, and I was on the bike, and it was just hell... I finally took a couple recovery days. I was shocked how real the dreams were.
And I like the saying on an Under Armour shirt I bought: 'Same game, different levels. Same hell, different devils'. People are amazed how much I ride. I get the 'You rode over 100 miles?' blurted statement quite a few times, and the 'Can you walk afterwards?' To the bar, sure...
I did have someone stop me riding and ask if I was wearing underwear. 'Nope. It's the most fun you can have without underwear in public.' And they wanted 'proof': To feel my butt. 'Sorry sister, that's not on the menu...' OMG!!! Here, let me grope your ass? I have a Lycra fetish, and even I wouldn't ask that...

Omg just not doing anything like gardening or whatever loooool
Got my August Challenge:
With a rainy week ahead...we'll see.
With a rainy week ahead...we'll see.
Right, but the algorithm looks at subsequent past challenges. Here's me: June 2021, 21,000 total calories. July 2021 Double move goal 9 times, but I did 12, along with 19247 total calories. August challenge: 19300 total calories.
Don't let it bother you...you actually made it for yourself; just didn't please the Algo. Good work and move on....all of us are going to wind up being caught by weather or other external factors. You did very well! Move on!
we refer to it as "Matrix" now ... LOL @PinkyMacGodess
I managed to still complete my July Challenge while being on vacation last week. I walked for an hour each day in Puerto Rico and that helped.
Shhhhsshh.....the Algo/Matrix may hear you and think you enjoyed it! Good Work!
If I burned everything in my house I could probably hit that calorie goal, but...
Did I start something? Something ironic, sarcastic, and maybe good?

I think referring to the "algorithm" or whatever AW uses to create your challenges as "Matrix" is all, ironic, sarcastic and good
Let's keep it that way ... The Matrix

Lets. And, so far, I haven't earned my food pellet for the day. *CRAP*!

Nope. I got it!
For some reason, I have to open a few apps to get the Activity Rings to update. I'm 84 short for Move, but buried my Exercise goal. Some days...
