Lol. But I don't want to run a full!!! I should have bought my watch earlier!!!
I've run quite a few Halfs since and every time I burn less calories than the time beforeFML
You're still lightyears ahead of me...I don't think I've ever even run a 5k. Maybe that'll change once these feet of snow melt away.
That means you're in better shape and probably running faster!Lol. But I don't want to run a full!!! I should have bought my watch earlier!!!

You could try a trail half marathon. You'd be out there longer and burn more calories because of the terrain.
Um
I really should. I'm getting really bored of roads but I do a fair amount of training on trails.

I messed up my perfect month last night by skipping my cross-training. (It was my non-running day this week.) So, maybe February?
I filled the goals every day of the week, yet for some reason didn't get the achievement. I was a bit confused by this but I didn't mind too much, but was wondering what happened that didn't trigger it. I double-checked, and triple-checked, that I met the goals every day and I indeed did meet them. So I went into the achievement section to try and see what caused it, and the Perfect Week (Stand) hadn't triggered either, so the lack of a trigger is clearly linked to the Stand goal in my case.
Now I've made certain that there are twelve or more hours in each of the rings from Monday to Sunday (there are), so does anybody know what's going on here? I'm not too concerned about the achievement, but I rely on the activity tracking features to keep track of swimming training and I'm concerned that the information being displayed is not accurate (for example, if it's displaying over twelve standing hours, but it's only actually recording less, or it's recording them accidentally while not meeting the criteria). Are there any troubleshooting steps that can be done to either get it to 'resync' or to ensure the data displayed is accurate (in particular, while unpairing was my first thought, I'm unsure about its effect on health and activity data)?
EDIT: I've just added images to see what I'm missing here.

Same here! I was surprised on Saturday when a bunch of badges appeared. But I was bound and determined to get that silly new years badge!
Very impressive haul of badges - congratulations
- I'll be more than impressed if you can repeat it again next weekAll the Best

I would love to, but I would need to find two new "sports" to track. I was using the rowing machine and the bike to get those badges. That being said, I could replace the New Year badge with a February badge. I would need to swim 500+ calories and ensure I meet the 200/300/400 goals. I would be close! I might try to do it
Actually you would need 3 more. I have done many more but 5 is the limit.Also I screwed up by walking (Outdoor I think) one time (I'm a runner) for the fun of it when I first got the
Watch. Guess I need to waste a workout and do a another so I can get Walking Record.

Which sports am I missing? Which ones have you done?
You have done two so you are missing all others. Never really paid too much attention but now that I look.
Have:
- Cycling
- Elliptical
- Running
- Stair Stepper
- Walking
- Rower
- Swimming (if a S2)
I have done all of these to get those badges. I also tried googling, but could not find another sport badge.
After cardio today I got on the Rowing Machine for 5 minutes and got the Rowing Badge. Now I need to do a Record Walk and then a Record Row (do this Friday) to fill them out and have all 12. Probably going to do an extreme trail run tomorrow (weather permitting) and may start my Watch on Outdoor Walk for 2 miles or so (don't remember what I did for the first and only Walk) and then change to Outdoor Run.
