Clues in the name! Good luck. I wonder what the highest anyone has ever had to chase down is?

Another month, another significantly tougher challenge!
Agreed - I am hoping that my longer weekend runs will give me enough extra calories to at least give me a shot at my challenge, even if it takes all of the month.
Oh I will - this will give me some positive reinforcement to make sure I tough out any long weekend runs where I have motivational issues.
Darker mornings and evenings are already not helping.
Bed time. Tripped my move goal today so I'm happy with that as I was in the office. A good first day.
For me it does because it’s not as hot and I move a bit more 😅
I moved a bit more today than usual. Partly due to a new commute and partly due to the challenge.
and the worst thing about cycling is - the watch underestimates calories. Almost same calories for walking and cycling for 90 minutes despite an increase of 40-50bpm when cycling.
If I do 'Mixed cardio' instead of outdoor cycling, it gives 2X
Been awhile since I’ve had a mileage challenge. But this is the kind of thing that has me thinking that Apple is secretly listening to my conversations. I’ve been talking lately about getting back into running. Even signed up for a half-marathon next April. So maybe they’re trying to push me into the running. Doc told me to lose a few lbs yesterday too at my physical. 162.3 miles this month to get my pixelated medal.
I normally walk 3/4 a mile each way to and from the park and ride vanpool to work. Most of my exercise is elliptical and circuit training with a little bit of treadmill and stair master mixed in. So this one will definitely be a CHALLENGE to complete, unless the watch gives me credit for my elliptical time as walking. I use another app called SweatCoin which does. So there’s hope. If anyone wants to join me on sweatcoin, here’s a link that will give us each 5 extra coins.

It’s a free app with some opportunities to earn some free stuff which may or may not appeal to you.
Ok, this may prove to be more doable than I first realized. I logged 4.2 miles yesterday without much effort, and I skipped my evening trip to the gym which always includes somewhere between 30-60 minutes on the elliptical and/or treadmill, depending on what’s on the docket that night. But I did my afternoon 45 minutes at work on the elliptical and got credit for that.
375 miles this month. Normally wouldn't be an issue, but: I had already decided to skip a few days of running to start the month due to lingering foot and ankle soreness, I have a multi-day car trip coming up later this month where most of the days' miles will be of the driving sort, and just yesterday I pulled a back muscle in the gym so my running may be more curtailed than I was even thinking. See you next month?
Tree stump removal. That’s 200 kcal this morning already. That plus my 4 mile run and I’m already at 50% of my daily target for this month’s challenge and it’s only 10 am.
I hate this. When I do Spin classes the calories are always way off despite my heart rate being about the same as when I run. It's the same issue on the elliptical as well. Really annoying.
Making this a morning weekend thing, thought I would not be able to keep @ it but just made myself wake up early per usual (well not as early it is the weekend).
Another month...another challenge. Will try to get ahead of this as quickly as possible. Good thing the weather here has taken a decided turn for the better: 64-68 ℉ mornings slowly warming up to the 80s with very low humidity. For now that is.....
I don’t drive, so I commute/walk everywhere so maybe, most if not all of that? I take several flights (up and down to trains) and with buildings or hills.
It also thinks I’m on an elliptical a handful of times every 6 months or so when I’m not.
On target here. Hit a third of my total and it’s only the 9th.
Come on guys. You got this!
Come on guys. You got this!
Careful! Borderline braggadocio 😄 Might make the rest of us 'pull a muscle...'.....
I always like to get ahead in case I get an injury or busy etc.
Same here...I'm about a 3rd also....just pulling your leg (to slow you down...)😀.
Easy peasy. Current settings: 780 calories, 60 minutes, 10 stands.
