Woah last month flew by like crazy 😜
I’m happy with what November’s Challenge has brought me though.

What did everyone else get?

I have to walk 4.41 miles 14 times
This month. In September I had to do 4.48 Miles 14 times. I’m thinking I’m going to ignore this challenge. I hate the distance ones and I can’t let this watch control me. I hate staying up till midnight and then getting pissed because a tool plans my month for me.

I have thought the same thing the past couple of months. This month is one of the few where my goal is less than my average daily.
 
3.5 hour a day for 1/2 month sigh :)View attachment 2305701

Just curious, is your job strenuous, and that's where you can do 3.5 hours of exercise a day? That seems kind of obsessive.

I was planning to ignore my challenge this month and I might still do that, but I actually achieved my first day of 4.41 miles today. Who knows what else the month will bring.

I walk to and from work approx 10 miles a day. Weekends walk & run. I'm 65 years old and have just given up doing marathons - completing 53 of them :) so this challange, unless I get ill, will be completed by day 14 :). Oct was 1015 kilocals for 14 days. Sep was 10.7 miles for 14 days ... so all in line with what I do naturally.
 
Thanks Tim Apple, it’s November in Western New York…

this is one reason i have been reading this monthly Challenge thread:
to get an understanding if the apple monthly challenge algorithm takes into account regional climate factors for people.
most of the posters to these threads dont indicate where they live, so its difficult to tell.

WNY can be cold (and slippery) in November. take care.

Thats a fair point for the location to match weather when a Challenge is issued.
Im in Australia and we SHOULD be having Spring like weather but in my state it still feels like its Winter at the moment :rolleyes:

I'm in the north of Scotland:):) and we've just had two very severe storms pass through. I manage my challenges pretty closely and I doubt that Tim Apple will take into consideration any of our geographical regions for weather.
I just crack on and get it done - keep smiling out there:)
 
I got 2.8 miles a day 14 times.

However I did 2.82 yesterday and my count stayed a zero. 71FA8F29-0E76-42E1-818B-DBFA2F94EF11.jpeg
I had this same challenge in April. I earned that months award without any issue like I’m seeing this now.
Any ideas from the group as to why this happened? Or how to fix?
Cheers!

2.84 rounded to 1 digit is 2.8 ... 2.85 rounded is 2.9 - I've seen this a couple time myself and that's the only explanation I have come up with
