Clap! November Challenge

Since it is the third day of November, it's about time for me to cough up the November Challenge!

The theme this month is: Challenge Yourself!

* You pick a goal for steps each day. What's the number you want to hit every day (not average for the month, but daily posting)?

* Post 20 days that hit that goal and

* You are a Winner!

-----------------

There are no requirements for what the goal is, but I do encourage you to challenge yourself. Figure out what is safe and comfortable and then reach for a bit more. We'll be here cheering you on.

Unsure how to pick your goal? Here's what I did:

I looked at "My Data" for October. I saw that on a good portion of days I was coming in at 15K steps for the day or above. (16 of those days to be exact.) I know that this month, timewise, is going to be a lot like last month (kind of crazy and hectic, time limited for stepping by the daylight hours), so I want to push myself a little bit farther, but not make my goal unreachable.

So, I'm going to make my goal 15,500.

Your mileage may vary.

If you don't choose a goal, your goal (for the purpose of the contest) will be 1000 steps over your monthly average last month.

--------------------
Disclaimer:

In order to be officially declared a "Winner", you must post at least 27 total days of data. Only 20 of them need meet goal. People with less than 27 days of data posted are fine human beings, but they aren't eligible for inclusion in final results.

---------------------

Prize TBA

______________

PM me with your goal, when you get a chance. The contest runs from 11/1 thru 11/30, meaning, for me, I've already missed two days of meeting goal!

Andrea

Can I use the goal I had already picked?

If so, I'm in.

Someday I'll join you. I suspect that regular exercise of some mild sort will be part of doctors' orders...

Well, my goal is usually 15,000 and I haven't increased it from October. It was 15,000 then too. Somedays I am just not hitting it at all, today for example.

Clap!



Just wanted to ask how everyone felt they did with the November challenge?

I'll have to review my stats for sure, but I think for the first half of the month I was close to my goal every day. Near the end of the month though it felt like you could add several day's worth of steps and still not reach my daily goal. ... ugh.

December is a new month! Yay
