Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the April 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 Wednesday, April 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 MARCH miles here. We will continue updating the MARCH spreadsheet using the MARCH thread for approximately the first 5 or so days of April. - Please add only your APRIL goals/miles to this APRIL thread. Got it?
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:
Go to tickerfactory.com and create a weight loss/fitness ticker (link is lower left side of page). Then copy the "BB code" and paste it into your posts on this thread each time you do an update. (More detailed info is located in the FAQ thread on the MYAC Group page.)
Welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay and that you find this helpful in realizing your fitness goals!

Calliope610 - That looks painful!
Dave - Put me down for 350 miles. The weather should get better so lets up the goal again.0 -
I'm struggling a bit with motivation right now, so I'm a bit nervous about what I'm going to accomplish in April - plus, it seems all of my free time will be spent tending to my farm duties... so, I'm going with a low goal this month... 100 miles.0

I'm going to try for 200 this month, even though I'll basically be off the bike the first 2 weeks and my running is tapering to my half next week. I think I'll be able to make up some ground on the bike after the half is over with. (I'm ready to be back on the bike more!)0

I hit my goal last month for the first time! I'm prepping for a 5K at the beginning of May so I'll try 25 miles this month.0

Well, I've been doing low numbers this year. In March I started with a goal of 50, eventually moving that to 90 and ultimately ended with 128. Last year, for April I had a goal of 300 and went over that. This is the time to start bike riding. So - going big - 300 it is for this April. I have a total goal of 3000 miles for the year so time to make up the difference since the operation.0

Please sign me up for 200 miles, might as well start big.

Please put me down for 150 April miles, thanks!0

Although I was a miserable fail last month, I am still going to try for 30 running miles. I swear I am not hitting my goals due to laziness! I hit almost 27,000 steps yesterday and that was without working out! I just have kids in baseball, softball, dance, etc. I can't do my running outside after dark because I live on a prison farm (husband is an Asst. Warden) and you really don't want to be running around that area at night. I may have to break and get on my treadmill. I HATE the treadmill! I am going to figure out how to make this work!0

Good catch Tappy44 - they are missing you. If you've been tracking separately, you could send totals for the past 4 months to either DarkKnight or hkristine1 and I'm sure they will get you set up in the spreadsheet.
I love this group. This group is the reason why I keep tracking miles/steps and moving. The data is awesome. And everyone who keeps the spreadsheet up to date works hard at it. Its not easy to keep a handle on all of us.0 -
