Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the May 2020 Move Your @$$ 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!

Going to up my goal a little to 50 miles this month since I can ride my bicycle outdoors much easier and the weather is more conducive! 2
-
Going for 100 miles again this month because we are still locked down so only one walk per day allowed1
-
Can you please put me down for 125 miles this time. My daughters deployment is actually happening in the middle of the month. Plus watching my grandkids now, I can’t get out as much.
THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT MAKES THIS challenge possible. This challenge is a factor that kept me moving last month, thanks again!4 -
I'll keep my 401

Put me in for 60!! Thanks!!

I am in awe of people upping their goals this month! As for me, too much uncertainty in front of me - where I'll be, what I'll be allowed to do - so I am going to lower my goal to 50. Plus too much stress in my life right now. I don't need to be feeling bad about lagging behind goal. So everyone out there that is feeling like you've had enough of this madness, please be kind to yourselves and give yourselves a break. And everyone that is saying "I got this," you are my heroes!
I'm on the board this morning with a 3 mile run.4 -
I'm going to up my goal to 45 miles. ...maybe...fingers crossed
Slowly getting back.

My 13 yr old grandson & I did an hour workout,. We cleaned out my pantry & put in another shelf. We then walked. He brought his gun hoping to see a skunk but we didn't. My little Georgie was happy about that! LOL 3miles for us.
Thank you Dave & Janet for keeping us in line!! I appreciate you very much!!1 -
Please put me in for 400 miles again. Hopefully I can heal up enough to make a great big push.1

I have no nothing to train for but maybe Tour des Chutes in July in Bend. My entire charity ride events calendar has been cancelled. All of my scheduled events, I was signed up for 7 this year are cancelled. My TdC cancer event is holding out for a long as they can before they will be forced to cancel.
Goal: 400.0 miles
05/01 - 25.0 miles turbo trainer
Total: 25.0 miles
Total: 25 out of 4001 -
HI, I think I'll aim for 90 miles, which is about 145 km.
(I am hoping I can be as successful as April!)
Goal - 145 km
01/05 - 4.54 km
Keep on moving ... keep on grooving!

Weather is, hopefully, getting warmer, meaning even more outdoor bike riding. I'm in for 200 miles in May. Hubby and I got a nice bike ride in yesterday to start off the month.

Starting with a 5 mile walk.
Been texting with my Boot Camp instructor who's telling me about the upcoming changes for when gyms reopen. It's going to suck to have to sign up for classes and fight for limited space with the popular ones. She sent pics of the cardio area and how far apart the machines now are. I'm not sure what the free weight area looks like. No showers from what I hear, I only live two miles away so it's not a big deal to fly home to shower before heading to work. I'm kinda hoping a lot of people don't come back, because I selfishly don't want to have to constantly fight for class space or a treadmill.

@anaconda - It must be very disappointing to have all your races cancelled, but if I know you, you will rise to the challenge!
Welcome back JoeMO! I put your goal in but I think Dave will have to go get your old stats for your totals - I'm not sure where he hid them LOL.
Speaking of old stats - I'm crossing a milestone this month. This is my 100th MYAC. Amazing, right?4 -
