Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the July 2016 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 Friday, July 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 JUNE miles here. We will continue updating the JUNE spreadsheet using the JUNE thread for approximately the first 5 or so days of July. Please add only your July goals/miles to this July thread. Got it? :smiley:

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.

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. :wink: )

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. :smile:

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!

    Put me down for 75 again for July. I was going to drop it but figured...nah...gives me more incentive. :)

    Put me down for 60 miles cycling or running.

    I think it will be mostly cycling as my knees are still bothering me. I've had the MRI and I'm waiting for the report and follow up appointment, which hopefully will identify the problem. Here's hoping it's NOT age and running!!!

    Gorgeous pictures Dean.

    I'm in for 80 miles this month. I have unexpected house repairs that haven't started yet and it sounds like I'm going to be stuck inside for quite a while as things get fixed. It's going to make me nuts.

    Started with 2 miles on the treadmill today. After 3 deliveries last night, it was all I had the energy or patience for.

    I'm only signing up for 150 miles this month. June felt very hectic & getting in mileage just added more stress.
