Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the AUGUST 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 AUGUST 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? :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 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!

Janet and Dave

    Not sure where June and July went since I was grounded to the house for 6 weeks while I drove my hubby and dad every where. Hopefully Friday, my hubby will get his sling off and be allowed to drive again. So glad I am not going back to teaching. It would have been a terrible summer break and I would be heading back in two weeks.

    Thanks Dave and Janet once again. I am starting training again for some road races for fall. I am starting with 200 miles for the month and will up it if all goes well and my old pups continue to feel good.

    August 1 - 20 km run
    August 2 - 9 km run


    Total distance 29 km - goal 350 km

    Would have run further this morning but the weather was horrible with 40 km / hr gusts of wind so ran on the dreadmill. Which was horrible.

    That's some nasty wind. I hate indoor training too but 40 km is miserable as well.

    Did my long run this morning. I was supposed to run 8 miles but due to an operator error using the GPS it turned out to be 8.5. I'm at 11/75. That should put me in the green!
