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

@cpanus - MFP will reset your streak if you made a mistake. I confess I did it myself last week - I was sure I had logged in but they said I didn't. The link is under help and they do it instantly - common request!!!
Thank you! Dave sent me the link to get it reset. Everything is good. I'm pretty sure I logged in, too...
This is me being happy -->

Not updating the spreadsheet right now, but I wanted to share something with all of you.
I have a fellow board member and Road Captain from my dealer's HOG Chapter that invited me to help out with a local bicycle event called the Tour de Tonka. (For more info, go to www.tourdetonka.com.) He's been involved with it for 8 or 9 years, almost its entire existence. They had 3500 riders last year and expect even more this year.
There are routes covering 8 distances from 16 miles to 100 miles that people can chose from. I have been selected to lead the 100-mile route (on my motorcycle) as a pacer/leader! After I reach the finish line, I can go back partway and ride back to the finish a second time with some of the slower riders. There will be one other guy on a motorcycle patrolling and sweeping the tail end.
I'll try to take some pictures. I'm really looking forward to it! I think it'll be fun.

I got my long run in yesterday along the relatively cool California coast. I'm at 17/75.
@dave - sounds like a fun event! What an honor to be the pace leader. Lots of pressure - don't make a wrong turn LOL.0 -
