    It has a symbol for you? All my phone is displaying is dark grey hexagons 🤷‍♀️

    Argh, 5km to the 50mile in a month running badge. And I can't run because I have a thorough throat infection. I also want to go on vacation this coming Sunday. No, it's not covid, tested negative as expected. But.. ugh.

    You know...Lord willing and the creek don't rise...I might end this month at 300,001 steps! Dodgy ankle and all!

    Way to go! Meanwhile my steps are temporarily way down due to the weather, but it won't last forever.

    Step-wise I'm not sure if I'll manage the 300k. I'm currently at 283600, but it's unlikely I'll walk enough tomorrow. I might get just about 10k the day after. Currently on vacation, and mainly sightseeing by car. As in, there are no opportunities for longer walks. Lots of short ones though, thus maybe it's enough.

    Still hiding indoors and moving as little as possible. I'm under that record-breaking heat dome in western North America and we don't have air conditioning. And poor insulation (house built in 1912, not sure it's ever been updated). So I'm staying out of the sun, and when it's still 29 degrees in here at 5 AM I am NOT working out!

    It's supposed to break in a few more days.

    Yes, I made the 300k steps. So far I walked 15k steps today, and I still need to return to my hotel.

    I need a call from the Judges. Garmin's offered a 4 mile hike challenge for July. I'm going on an 8-day canoe trip in the Boundary Waters later this month. While most of our travel will be via canoe over water, there are those pesky portages along the way. Does hauling a canoe or gear on your shoulders over a whatever type of terrain is there portage count as a "hike"?

    I am definitely not making it to 115k steps by Wednesday! The trails where I walk have no shade and the temperature's been in the high 20s to mid 30s, so that's a no from me.

    Well, I got my 115K through our typical miserable sweltering start to July...but that's what 5 am is for. Now maybe I can sleep in some day.

    I'm back to doing shiftwork and trying to both adjust to that and arrange my schedule so I somehow get a workout in every day and holy cow! I might not get any of my badges this month! 😢

    Here's one way to get the July Hiking badge... lug a canoe through a friggen forest.

    I've been readjusting to shift work and trying to figure out a workable exercise schedule, so the only badge I managed in July was the 5k walk one. Let's see if I can do better this month....
