Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the July 2019 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 on the first day of the month.
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!

Thank you to Dave and Janet for the hours of data recording that you do each month.
And thank you to my MYAC friends for your support each day. May and June were such a funk for me. I would say honestly, that I have been experiencing some depression and I have picked myself up and got back on the horse. Between, taking care of my dad, two failing pups and losing Finn in such. An unexpected way, did not do my head good, along with the worst wet weather ever. I spent all day outside in my gardens sucking up vitamin D and and some sunburn. So onward July.
Please put me down for 200 miles. I am trying to get back in the running game. We shall see.

I’m going for 45 running miles this month - I need a swift boot to boost me along
1st: 0 miles - MTD
2nd: 5.65 miles, 20 Barriers Trail Race - MTD 5.65
I’m pleased to report that I brought up the rear - having got full value from my race entry fee. I saw awesome rolling hills, a spectacular bay, and ran along a pretty canal lined with narrow boats. Win-Win.
Here’s to a July that is much better than June
