Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the JULY 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 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 (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!

I only ran 1 mile today. It was hot out -- the first time it has really felt like summer here. @k80flec - I'm with you, I can't believe I've gotten this far with the Runner's World streak. Two days left! I think that's 35 days down, but I've lost count. Tomorrow should be interesting because I want to go to yoga and it's a killer class. Maybe I'll do a quick mile before I go.
Hope you all had a great weekend and for those taking a long weekend, have a great time!

@kel80flec: Thanks for the hugs.
I lopped the neighborhood this morning and you would have thought I ran twenty. Still hanging on to the streak. Before my knee surgery, I ran every day but this has been brutal on the knee.

10 on ex bike before church then I walked 2 miles but found it to hot so I came home & rode another 11 on ex bike while watching Flea Market Flips. A total of 23 today.
All three grandsons are with us over night because there is no day care tomorrow due to the 4th of July weekend. So far things are good. They took the portable dvd player to bed with them. I will check them to see who falls asleep first. They are such better kids when mommy & daddy are not here! LOL
