What’s your August Challenge? Will you succeed?

[nikkisharif]

Definitely not doing this & I’m not even gonna worry about it I don’t work out everyday, so I would need at least 90 minutes on the days I do & that ain’t happening!

Whoa, yeah that’s pretty tough.

That’s the amount of exercise minutes I normally get. The only reason why I’m able to complete it, is because I deliver mail 6 days a week and that’s my exercise.

I assume I’m doing pretty good so far. At the beginning of the month, I had do at least 10.78 miles per day, but almost 1/2 way through the month, I now need at least 7.91-8 miles a day now.

 

[Annie_M]

Done!

 

[metllicamilitia]

I missed a couple days so my goal is back to about 39 exercise minutes a day. I need 1,290 exercise minutes total.

 

[bamf-hacker]

Apple is always nuts when it comes to my challenges. I need 3750 exercise minutes.

I hope to be done by the end of the day

I didn't meet my challenges in May-July mostly due to travel, so I was hoping for something more reasonable for August. My August challenge is to double my daily move goal 17 times. Normally, I would consider that doable since my goal is to average a double. However, the chances just got much slimmer. A couple of weeks ago, I woke up with hip pain. Two weeks later, an MRI shows that I have a fractured right hip. I've learned that it's a fairly common injury for older runners. Now I'm facing 6-8 weeks of walking with a cane (absolutely no running) and then another 4+ weeks of PT. Needless to say, I'm a little bummed. Prior to the injury, I was on pace for a personal best in miles, and now I'll be lucky to finish the year with 75% of my annual goal. It sucks to get old!

Okay, I'm done whining now.

Oh no! I’m so sorry!

Yeah it sucks but it’s cool! I’m focused on closing my rings everyday so I can at least get the perfect month award.

As a fellow "older runner", I spend every run thankful that I'm not dealing with something like that. I wish you a speedy recovery and a quick return to double move goals!

Thanks Annie.
Thanks Nikki.
Thanks doogald.

 

[Tartarus]

I’m gonna have the hardest time to win this award. But meh, I won’t be doing extra work to get it.

Forgot to post this earlier. With my job, it can be tough some days.

I may have hit a wall with the monthly challenges. I've had the Apple Watch since March and have nailed the monthly challenge each of the months. Then August rolls around and I have to exercise for 1,617 minutes. Along with the daily activities, I also hit the treadmill for 30 minutes five days a week.

Even with activities such as going to the golf course, mowing the grass and other "extracurricular" activities I am only up to 870 minutes so far this month. Not sure I'm going to make it.

 

[nikkisharif]

I guess I move around more than I thought...I might actually make it

Awesome
