Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the August 2021 Move Your @$$ 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!

I'm in for 30 miles this month. That's my lowest goal ever but unlike poor Dave who is sidelined I'm still planning to go to Alaska in August. I'm going to be off the grid for two weeks and not sure my GPS will even work to track my miles, though I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of moving.2

Can you please put me down for 150 miles again, thanks in advance!
OVER 3.75
As of 7/30

Best of luck everyone …1 -
Please put me in for 300 miles again, thank U1

Okay, well, I tripped on the raised sidewalk yesterday while on my walk and went down on my knee. Not fun!! It is better today, but it's going to take a while heal. So I'm only going to go for 30 miles in August. I'll change that if my knee gets better.
Hope everyone has a good August.

Put me down this month for 75 miles please. Too many variables for me this month so going a little lower.
Thank you for doing this again1 -
I’d like to try for 80 miles in August … I need to get my running mojo back.
We had 2 weeks of HOT (for the UK and Lancashire) weather here in July and I couldn’t bear to run.
My eldest grandson (6 3/4 years), his mum and her partner all got Covid and we had to isolate … imprisoned in my garden
. Edited to add …. They weren’t in my garden, just me and himself. They isolated in their own home!
At least it was only 10 days. My step-grandson has migrated to China to teach and has to isolate for 28 days. Fortunately his employer stands the cost of the hotel.
@Dave - healing hugs for the Achilles and loving hugs for you and your Sweetie on your wedding

As usual I would like to say thanks to Dave and Janet for keeping track of our miles. I cannot believe that I am officially starting year 9 this month and have completed over 31,000 miles from running, cycling and now mostly walking. It is incredible what the human body is capable of doing. Here is to continuing to move for many more and never rusting. Happy August folks.
I am in for 150 this month.
Aug 1: 4.25 miles walking
Aug. 2: 8.75 miles walking
TTD: 13 miles
