Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the MAY 2018 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 @$$ starting MAY 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'm in for 200 miles.
I didn't finish April's challenge. My sister had been in the hospital, my dad is now recovering from a stroke, and my husband recently fractured his elbow and wrist. I'm hoping to get out on my bicycle now that the weather is finally beautiful.

My user name has mfp attached to it now as had to delete my previous account and then rejoin again as I was having some issues with saving and entering data and joining some of the forums. Sorry for any difficulties it may cause.
May 1 - 19 km run

=============================
SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE
See (but not edit) the
spreadsheet here:

=============================
You're all very welcome! It's a labor of love. I very much enjoy "seeing" all of you every day and being part of each other's lives. :flowerforyou: I hope to be able to continue this for a long time to come.
@LAMLAM2013 - Oh my gosh!! You've had so much to deal with and people to support and care for! I hope they're all doing better. And I'm also glad the weather is improving so you are able to get out for some fresh air and a little respite and get some time for yourself. Hang in there.
@POWER0304MFP - No worries! I got your username updated on the spreadsheet.
@COUNTRYCREEK - YAY!! So glad to see you made it back and joined us! If you ever have any questions, just post them to the group or PM Janet or I and somebody will get back to you shortly! We're a very friendly and supportive group here...like family. We welcome you and hope you enjoy your stay! Most people check in daily with their mileage, but it's not a requirement. Whatever your schedule allows for. But if we notice that we haven't heard from you for two or three weeks, don't be offended if you get a friendly and private nudge to come back and at least say 'Hi!' whether or not you have any miles to report.
Oh yeah, and I'm in for my usual 75 miles again!
Have a great day!

May Day! May Day! I remember teaching kids Maypole dances and doing them in elementary school with long colorful streamers of crepe paper on a tole pole. I wonder if anyone does them nymore? Probably no time for such things because the kids are too busy on their iPads.

I am in for 200 miles this month. If I get rolling, I will add more. I have five weeks to get 43 years of my life sorted, given away, thrown away or packed for home. The next few weeks will be a blur.
Thank you Dave and Janet for keeping us running for another month.
@ Lamlam: Sounds like we are running parallel lives. I hope things improve for you. My dad has severe lymphadema in his lower extremities and left arm. My husband is heading for rotator cuff surgery as soon as I finish teaching. I have a dog on chemo six days a week and another that can’t walk very well and cannot get up on her own strength. And I just messed up my right knee with some strain or another meniscus injury. I am limping right along. Between my dad, hubby and I, we might make an entire non-injured person.
May 1: Adding 10 miles today of limping along.
TTD:10 miles

Starting the month with 29 miles.
