Muddy March may be at an end, but the mud and rain will go on. On the plus side, most of the cold (hot, if you live in the south) weather is gone and its a great month to be outside. Take your allergy meds and get out to see the brown go away and the nature’s colors start to spread.
How It Works
The primary purpose of these monthly challenges is to keep track of your daily step goals for the month; though many of us track other things as well, like body weight exercises, sleep, trips to the gym, logging food, etc. This is not a competition to see who can do the most of whatever, instead it is a challenge to measure your consistency. So whether you do 1k, 5k, 10k or even 40k steps a day, this is measuring how many days out of the monthly total you can hit your goal.
Some might have a constant goal of 10k steps every single day and others might have a variable goal throughout the week, (and some might even plan days off!) for example.
Monday -> Friday = 10k steps a day
Sat & Sun = “6k steps a day,” or “not tracking”
Regardless of how you structure your daily goals, the only thing that matters for the monthly challenge is whether or not you reach what you set out to do.
Suggested Posting Format
1) Post either your constant or variable step goal.
2) Keep track of the # of daily goals achieved out of the monthly minimum and or monthly total
Picture Scavenger Hunt — 3 pictures
The theme of the photo scavenger hunt this month is changing seasons. Beginning of Spring in the North and Fall in the South. So blossoms for some of us, especially on the trees, and falling leaves for others. And, of course, the mud.
Posting
Although you certainly don’t have to post daily, you’ll likely stay closer to what you set out to do by updating the thread several times/week
Injury Notice
If you injure yourself during the month and need to scale back due to the injury, then all you have to do is adjust your goal for that period. If you normally do 10k steps a day but pull a hamstring and decide to do minimal walking (2k steps a day), then all you have to do is change your goal.

@Jotex -- I'm glad you getting back at it. I was close to going to PT for the self-diagnosed pinched nerve in my neck last month, but it seems to have resolved on its own. That, and crunch time at work over the past severals weeks has gotten me out of my gym routine, though. Trying to get back on track with that.
@jantonini -- how exciting to have an eagle nest nearby. I see bald eagles flying around in a couple of places I hike, but I haven't found any nests in camera range yet.
However, just this past weekend I DID find a couple of yellow crowned night heron nests on a stream that runs through Baltimore. Very urban spot, just a couple of blocks from the train station I take to go to DC. Two parents in one of the nests when I checked on Sunday morning (the one preening was laying in the nest when I showed up; and the one sniffing had just arrived with another twig for the nest. The Arrgh bird was on a different nest in the same tree on Saturday evening. There was a second nearby, but out of frame. Another photographer reported 12 different individuals a couple of weeks ago, but I've only seen four so far.
