Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the JUNE 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 June 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!

Going for 150 this month. I bought a Groupon for 15 classes of some Fit Body Bootcamp that I need to use before August so as long as the first class doesn't kill me, I may be doing that twice a week and lowering my miles a little.0

I'm in for 75 miles again. This is going to be an interesting month. I'm up north in my summer house but my husband stayed in Florida where the fishing (and the weather) is hot. That leaves me on daily dog walking duty as well as being committed to the Runners World Streak.
@vhuber - I posted about the Runners World Steak in the May thread but basically the answer is just start your streak on June 1st and go for it. It's purely motivational. There's no official logging and no prize other than satisfaction. http://www.runnersworld.com/rwrunstreak
Have a great month everyone!0 -
Please sign me up for another 50 miles. It will be interesting to see if I'm busier or slower. We have the grandsons (7 & 5-1/2) from June 17 thru July 5. I will be one tired Nana that is for sure. Good thing I'm on vacation that time.
Edited to remove ticker that isn't working.

Going for 250 miles this month. I have been pushing myself to double my goal although it has been tough at times. I figure with school ending, I will get in some serious cycling, more running if the foot holds although the four days of running is already causing my heel to hurt.
School ends next week and I am so ready for it to be done. One more year...will I survive? Most of my friends retired this year and one of my teammates will be out on sabbatical and another will be back a couple weeks and out on maternity till January. It will be a much different final year for sure.
Okay, enough of me. Thanks Dave and Janet for keeping me on track. I hope to get some weight training in these next few months and drop the 10 pounds I gained due to my lack of running and more eating,
Welcome new folks. Glad to have you on board.
June 1: Adding 13 miles today of 1 mile of running for day four of the RW streak and 8 miles of walking/jogging and 5 miles cycling
TTD: 14 miles

06/01 - 7.31 miles
Hope everyone has a fun Friday!
