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

... will try for 75 in September. School starts back this month so not as much ‘leisure’ time on my hands as during the summer. Also starting to slowly return to the office ... and the daily commute. I know it is a good thing but I really didn’t miss that commute!!!!1

I'm going to try for 300 again. I got a ride in today.
Biking tends to slow down for me in September when the weather gets a little cooler, but I'm going to try stay with the biking in September. I also purchased a mini pedaler so I can either pedal with my feet or with my arms. I haven't tried it yet, but I wanted to get something, as I gave up my gym membership due to Covid.

My target this month - 75 miles.
The rehab of my ankle is going well. I’m hoping to, in the next 10 days, start running again. I shall pick up the C25k programme at about 5 weeks and ease myself back into it.
Our older grandsons go back to school this week. We had a fabulous day of adventures on Monday. Planned our journey to Grizedale Forest to include a short ferry ride across a lake. Is it bad to let the boys think the Forest was on an island? 4 -

This reminds me of a time when my boys were quite small and we created a treasure hunt. We bought a wooden box that we made look "distressed" and filled it with small coins and costume jewelry. We then created a "pirate map" that we stained with coffee. We buried the box on a small island near our house and then let the boys "discover" the map and lead us to the treasure. That box sat around our house for years and they never said anything about it as they got old enough to realize it was fake. So no, it was not bad at all - it was magical.
