Did a little 4 miler this morning at 6AM. A cold 39ºF in Atlanta. Also don't like running in the dark and suffering plantar fasciitis.

I just got back from a 3.16 mile walk and didn't get the badge. That's disappointing.

My watch never said I got it, but when I checked my watch achievements, it said I got it

(Walked the dog for 90 minutes to get 3.2 miles - took that long because the dog wanted to sniff more than walk)
 
How long did it take for your badge to appear? I just did a outdoor run for 3.24 mi and the reward doesn’t show yet.

It took about an hour for mine too show up. If you did the workout, it'll eventually appear.
 
Got mine! 4.25 mile walk in 30 degree temps. Dressed in beanie, hoodie, and sweats like Stallone in first Rocky, but got 'er done.

Happy T Day to everyone in the States.
 
Slowest 5k of my life but I just got out of my surgical boot yesterday after having a screw put in my broken foot 8 weeks ago. Just glad I made it! Happy a Turkey Day all! Oh, and it is going to be 94 degrees here today! So it was just beautiful this morning!

Mine showed up right away when I competed the workout in my watch.

I've been having problems with my iPhone. As soon as I updated the watch, the Turkey day award appeared. I then lost it when I restored a backup from a few days ago. I'm just not getting any goal completion notifications OR and of the stand reminders. Only too notifications are working.

I've tried this on three different iPhones with all three of my watches.

I'm not happy O upgrade to iOS 11 and watch OS 4.1. Everything as working before I updated.

My feet are killing me and I don't have it in me to go out and do another 3.1 mile walk. I'll skip trying for the award again.

Went on a 3.4 mile walk this morning, and checked on my phone that this was at least 5K before getting back in the car. It showed up on my phone right away. On my series 0, exercise time always undercounts - today it said the 5K walk would be 25 minutes of exercise. It's always done this ...
 
Did a 3.1 mile run in 20 deg weather this morning early, got the badge as I saved my run. Last year it took weeks to show up.

Seems like a beautiful place to run or go for a walk! Wish my city was as beautiful.

Nice little time with my dog. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

YES, THIS! Thank you for going with your dog for a run!! It angers me and disgusts me seeing dog owners living in condos just step outside for their dog to use he bathroom then immediately back inside (Fort York Blvd & Fleet St, Toronto ON). It’s disgusting actually from winter to spring where you have to calculate each step before you clear the property in the morning. Sad cause dogs just are not really cared for and their needs not respected. It’s as if their only existence to condo dwellers are to be their pimps (help them meet people)!

So again thank you for goin with your dog for a RUN!

Amen! Dogs were made to be outside. Ours take us for a walk! :)

Anyway, I got my badge instantly - as soon as I finished our 3.5 mile walk. My wife (who accompanied me) is still waiting for her's. The same thing happened with the Veteran's day badge: I got mine instantly, while she gave up on ever seeing hers. She only noticed she actually had it today.

(FWIW, I have a Series 3 watch. Her's is a series 0. Don't know if that's significant?)

More dog walks!!! Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I do a six mile loop in the local conservation land with one of our dogs (the other one is 12 years old and is still active for her age but isn't interested in walks that long). I don't usually turn on the "workout" app but did and got the badge right away.

For those above who didn't, did you record your activity as a specific workout, or did you just walk, without starting the workout app?
 
I have probably run over 150 races in my life and have never had to pick myself up from the pavement..until yesterday.

Ran our local Turkey Strut 5K with about 2,000 others and got tripped right after the start line. After I picked myself up, and recovered for the first mile, finished with a time of 22:53. Ran using the Strava app on my AW3 and the Turkey badge showed up immediately.

I did a 10k recorded in Runkeeper, but no badge. At the end of the day, I did a 3.25 mile walk recorded in the workout app. No badge. I also should have both 200 and 300 achievements, but they didn’t register either.
 
No Turkey Badge!! Wife Sieres 2, outdoor walk on Nov 23rd 3.12 miles, I got mine, but she did not ge hers, she’s gotten every one of them to date, she’s so bummed!!!
