April 2021 Move Your @$$ Challenge

Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the April 2021 Move Your @$$ 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 a day or so. Don't hold us too tightly 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!

In for 60 miles! If it warms up and isn't horrifically windy like it is this week, I'll be getting out on my bike at least a little!

Thanks Dave for the colorful spreadsheet and always keeping us on track. And to Janet too!
I am in for 150 mikes again.I would like to get some bike miles this month, but was back at the chiropractor after an easy ride. He said I have some hip scarring of some muscles and is working to break up scar tissue. It looks like my pain may be an abdominal tear that continues to sprain and not heal.I did some KT taping this week and feel some relief. Let’s hope it helps. Eight months of pain is too long.1 -
Please put me down for 500 miles
Good luck to everyone...😊0 -
I think I will try for 200kms again this month.
It's autumn here and days are getting shorter but the colours are beautiful..
I hope all the American exercisers are safe there has been some rough weather for you.
Thank you Dave and Janet for the behind the scenes work you do. Loving the Easter theme

What a difference a day makes! It must be 20 degrees cooler today. Mixed results. Started off really well with another quick mile (for me) before suffering stomach cramps and having to walk home. Oh well. 6/750
