November Activity Challenge

Sheesh, I feel like such a slacker among you guys. I earned the Veteran's Day award and my November challenge is to close all 3 rings 10 times. So far I've only done it 7 times. I tend to chill on the weekends, so I don't close my stand ring on Saturdays and Sundays, and don't exercise on Sundays. Guess I need to step it up a little.
218.5 miles later I got the November challenge. I just hope December challenge won’t kill us. 
My November challenge was 2,650 minutes of exercise. I earned my award yesterday. I wish there was a way to change the the exercise goal. I want mine to be 100 minutes each day.
+1 It's pretty meaningless at 30 minutes. I'd be fine if they left 30 minutes as a minimum, but allowed higher goals.
100 minutes would be too high for me as a daily goal. I've been averaging in the 80's (minutes), so I'd probably set mine at 60 as a baseline. I'd have to run at least 12 miles every day to hit 100 minutes.
This week has been crazy busy (I'm sleeping in average 4 hours daily) and I'm driving way more than I'd like to. I'm falling short. Let's see if I can remedy that on these last days.
I have to burn about 513 calories a day for the next 4 days to complete the challenge.
Turkey Trot 10k tomorrow, so that should help.
I wasn't sure I was going to make it as I had laparoscopic hernia surgery 5 weeks ago.

Completed mine -- walk/run 119.2 miles for the month. Completed it today along with my Thanksgiving Day 5K badge!
Anyone have weird activity inaccuracies?
November goal is 16,300 calories. Last night its showed me to try to burn 600+ calories to finish the goal. Today, it’s showing I have to finish 1800+ calories daily.
So far have burned 14.491 calories. 2 days to go.
There has also been times when my active calories will be 300+ but the next time I look, it will be back to 80 calories only. So far, it’s been steady ever seen I turned off the apple watch app for the Runtastic.

In the Health app, you can set the order of which sources have priority over others. If your watch (native Apple app) has priority over other 3rd party apps, the behavior you’ve seen can happen.
Yes! I did 7 miles before 9:00. I did not know about the challenge until I received the notice of the award.
Ok, here we are on the last day of November. Always fun to watch as people come in and report their success on the monthly challenge. Today should bring plenty of fulfillment.
And then tonight when we hit midnight, we get to see what Apple has in store for us for Secember!!

Since I ran the Turkey Trot 10k, I achieved the Thanksgiving award. Yesterday, before noon, I achieved my November challenge.
