A little August Challenge

Recently my fitbit broke so I've been trying to make sure I keep up with my activity despite this. I've decided to use Pokemon Go as a bit of an inspiration. I've challenged myself to hatch at least one egg every day during the month of August.

Aug 1st, I hatched Poliwag from a 5k
Aug 2nd, I hatched Tauros from a 5k

Anyone else is welcome to join up and share your luck in what you manage to hatch!

    Absolutely, I went for a four mile jog / walk and discovered you can hatch about 2.5 2 km eggs in that time. By the end of the walk I had two more caterpies (boo), a magikarp (yay!!), a pidgey (ugh, really?!) and one new addition from a 5km egg, and my first fighter: Machop!!

    Aug 2nd Machop from a 5k
    Aug 3rd Caterpie fora 2k (*again*)

    Today: I've got .5 left on a 10 km egg... crossing fingers!!

    Aug 3rd I ended up hatching a doduo, first one of those for me! Today I have another 5k egg to hatch, mostly because I can't seem to get 2k or 10k ones.

    I wish I lived closer to where the pokestops and gyms are in my town. Though we have to go to Vancouver next week for a few days. I'm really looking forward to that!

    I kept seeing that one was near by but i could never get one. I was so excited I sent a pic to my friend and pissed her off.
    LOL. Yeah wasn't impressed when I hatched a Magikarp.

    Thanks @Intrinsicat!

    I ended up getting a Venonat and a Caterpie. Finally was able to get the Butterfree I've been wanting for forever!

    I hatched a pretty kick *kitten* Grimer yesterday out of a 5k. And a Paras the day before.

    Unfortunately I missed a few days since my MiL was here and we were trying to clean the basement apartment in our house after the tenant moved out.

    I've also yet to get my hands on a 10k egg! I'd likely end up with an Eevee though, haha.

    My Co worker finally was able to hatch a 10k egg. She called me over to watch it hatch and everything. The look on her face when it was an eevee. Priceless.

    Hahaha an Eevee 10k egg - just makes you crazy!! I just hatched another magikarp 2k egg - just 350 more magikarp candies to evolve that thing!

    Good morning! I didn't get out last night for walking, as it was rainy here and my hair dye is still fresh. Blue streaks down the back is not a good look on anyone!

    But this morning, I was able to hatch my 5 km egg, got a Goldeen. And I'm halfway to hatching my next 2 km egg. Hoping for something good!

    Yeah! It's actually blue and purple sections. It still hasn't washed out completely and I did it last saturday!


    It was too hot for me to do much of anything this weekend, other than stay inside in the A/C. Gonna go out on my breaks today and try and get the last .08 km of my 5 km egg!
