Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the April 2017 Move Your *kitten* Challenge!
PLEASE READ the directions below.
We welcome all 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 *kitten* starting Saturday, 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 (or kms) moved each time you update.
Please don't post any previous month's miles here. We will continue updating the previous month's spreadsheet using the old thread for approximately the first 5 or so days of the new and current month. Please add only your current month's goals/miles to this 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.
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 either www.lilyslim.com or www.tickerfactory.com and create a Fitness ticker. 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!

Great pic Dave! Congrats to all our newbies. You are officially veternans now. Here is to warmer dryer days. In some ways I am glad I am out of my race. It was horrible training these past months due to such wet weather. In the mean time, my $.25 a mile bike challenge has been racking up some serious money. Closing in on $150.00.
Thank you so much Dave and Janet for keeping us going!
Putting in for 200 again this month. I hope to get some running in and test the heel.1 -

I'm gonna start increasing my miles each month......slowly. So, instead of 60 miles this month, put me down for 62.1
-
I'm in for 250 again. Lost a vet again so I'm back up to 118 hours a week working. Not sure where I'm going to get the time to ride outdoors.1

Shout out to Micheleg1965 for making her March goal.

@Dean, oh that stinks! It is so hard to find good & reliable help! Do you own or partner your clinic? I hope that special one will see how BEAUTIFUL your neck of the woods are & be at your door soon! & sorry you are still in the 40's, we were about 60 today but windy. We may see snow with rain on Monday. yuck but we could use the moisture.
I did an hour of Tabata & 10 on my ex bike today! Had to work off yesterdays birthday dinner with cake & ice cream!!! It's hard saying (((58))). LOL

April. : 150 m running, purposeful walking, swimming even
1st: 8 miles, 4.44 Park Run plus warm up and cool down, 3.66 purposeful walking - MTD 8
@Dean - 118 hours a week sound exhausting. You need to be less careless and more mindful about where you leave your vets!!! Joking apart, I hope it doesn't take too long to hire a replacement. I'm sure you're just catching up with your sleep from last time.
@clepant - I'm sending empowering vibes for your heel to be good
Here's to an excellent April everyone
Edited to reinstate /\ as it disappeared
. And to add ... I hope my ticker has updated for you as I can't see Aprils and it's got chicks ....
