Just two months left in 2022. How about that? I like NOvember. For those of us who have four seasons, the transition is still going on and that means it is a great time to get out and move around. The weather is not too cold/hot yet, and the landscape is changing. There is also still time to do something NOtable this year. Sign up for a Thanksgiving day run or bike ride. Go for an all time floor or step day, or a new Fitbit badge. Anything new and NOtable for just for you. (Thank's @Jotex for this month's theme)
General monthly instructions are below, including the monthly picture scavenger hunt.
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
So what is with the NO everywhere? For this month's scavenger hunt look for at least three signs that tell you what NOt to do. NO Hunting, NO Smoking, NO Dogs, DON’T do this or that. The funnier the weirder the better. (great idea @Vidd)
Just Don't ...
Not a dirtbike -- I think ...
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.

It's the 3rd already, so I'm sorry to be a bit late to the party. Some great pictures on here already - well done everyone!
Here are my goals for NOtable NOvember:]
Minimum of 38000 steps every day in the month (yes, it's going down again - short days for one thing and that figure is what I need to stay on track for the year).
270000 steps per week
1.15 million steps in the month
3 Scavenger Hunt pictures
In bed by midnight every night and by 23:00 at least once per week.
3 dog walks per day of at least 3 miles each
Had this challenge been set about ten years ago, there used to be a great sign on the side of a local house:
HIPPIES MUST USE THE BACK DOOR.
NO EXCEPTIONS.

I'm adding a couple of NOtability targets which should get ticked off this month.
No. 1 should be straightforward........to live long enough to claim my Old Age Pension (November 9th).
No. 2.should also be OK, but is certainly worth noting for me, that I should pass my annual steps record later on in November.

@Jotex, Mrs Vidd had a pretty bad day after her Covid booster on Wednesday - luckily she perked up a lot the next day. They gave her the flu jab as well - one in each arm. I had the same about a month ago, but was lucky to get no side effects apart from a bit of pain where the jabs had gone.

Thanks @Vidd . Glad Mrs Vidd also bounced back after a day. This was the quickest recovery after the 4 Covid jabs I’ve gotten. 😊
