MAYbe it’s time to add something new to your daily activities? MAYbe a new route for your daily walk? Or MAYbe start a daily walk? 😀 MAYbe weekend hikes, or bike rides, or MAYbe a spring 5K? I’ve been taking a lot of wildlife pics with my new camera and MAYbe that will be another way to get me out and about.
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 to find at least three different kinds of flowers (blooms), three different animals on your daily walks. The more colors and critters the better.
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.

Went to Pimlico on Friday (the day before Preakness). It's not crazy crowded like on Preakness, but there are enough people there to make it seem like big deal.
This cardinal was hanging on the roof of my garage waiting for some other birds to clear off the feeder.

Went on a residential garden tour about 20 miles NW of Baltimore on Sunday. Hosted by lady who said she put her first flower bed in over 50 years ago. I'll bet she had at least 200 different iris varieties. Below is a Yellow Flag Iris and a really pretty peony. Jane is in the background of the picture on the bottom.
