Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the March 2015 Move Your *kitten* Challenge!
PLEASE READ the directions below.
Welcome to the newbies and welcome back to the oldies!
"Rules of the Challenge"
1. Set your goal and post it to the thread....distance ONLY (Miles or KMs) - NO minutes, NO # of workouts, , NO # of calories, NO # of steps - DISTANCE ONLY.
2. Make your ticker if you want to use one (see directions below or in the FAQ thread) or add your goal to the thread.
3. Get moving your @ss starting Sunday, March 1st.
4. Post as often as you can to the thread so we can keep the sheet (see link below) up to date. You are welcome to report what you are moving each time BUT please make sure you post the TOTAL miles (kms) moved each time you update.
Please don't post any FEBRUARY miles here. We will update the February spreadsheet once everyone has reported their February miles to the February thread - Please add only your MARCH goals/miles to this thread.
The purpose is to set a distance goal (KM or Miles) and track your distance for the month - please only do one or the other...if you are doing KM just report in KM - we have a formula in the spreadsheet that will convert it to miles for us.
You are challenging yourself, not competing against anyone else.....the distance can be on a treadmill, stairmaster, elliptical, bike, roller blades, walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming (if you can measure).....just set a distance goal and do the work. Sorry, but we will not be tracking number of workouts or minutes moved in this challenge - ONLY DISTANCE.
Report to the thread often to keep us updated because we track our info on a spreadsheet (see link below) so you can see how you are doing compared to the group but not to openly compete with them. (Whatever goes on inside your own brain is your own business.
)
The idea is to set your goal and reach it before the end of the month.
Welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself!
Link to the Google spreadsheet where you can view (but not edit). The Challenge Admins will update it for you at mostly random times.... ....but typically at least once a day. Don't hold us to that though.

Directions for making a ticker:

Welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay and that you find this helpful in realizing your fitness goals!

@sufferlandrian: Do you use your Gatorskins 25s year round or only during winter months?I hear they are great for this weather because of the puncture resistance but lots of complaints about a slower ride.
March Goal: I hope to be putting in more cycling and run time this month so up me to 250 please.
Again, my thanks for for each of you that load the data each day. I so appreciate what you do to help keep us motivated to exercise.

I think I will stop complaining about my job!!! That has to be so hard.
***Please put me down for 200 miles. There will be more sunshine this month which means I can start walking outside after I get home from work! So looking forward to that!

@clepant - I use the Gatorskins year round. The extra few grams of weight will not slow you down. The new studies are showing the 25s may actually be faster than the 23s for a couple of reasons. The first is you have more contact with the pavement so you can corner faster. The second is total air in the tire is more meaning you have more cushion. You would think that would slow you down and it will over a short distance. However, it reduces fatigue over long distance making it so you can keep a greater effort over longer distance and improve your overall speed. The 25s also don't get pinch flats as often. I wasn't paying attention last week and hit a big rock (don't look at the clouds coming in when you should be looking at the road). I did get a flat but the extra air kept me from bending the rim.0 -
Although February was an absolute FAIL for me, I am still making my running goal 30 miles for this month. Softball season just started and baseball starts next week so it's going to be tough, but I'm just going to have to make time! May have to run laps on the outside of the field while they practice!0

I'm back!!!!
So expect many annoying gifs, quotes and images because I'm a very annoying cheerleader, for those of you who don't know!!!
So anyway, count me in for 120 miles in March... now let me take that the first day to try and remember how to do that ticker-factory-thing...
