Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the APRIL 2024 Move Your @$$ 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? :smiley:

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. :lol:

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. :grin:

Directions for making a ticker:
Go to either 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!

Janet and Dave

    Thank you Dave and Janet
    Hope everyone that celebrates, had a blessed Easter.

    Please put me in for 50 miles until I find out what is going on with my knee and get some relief from the sciatica I am experiencing. I can barely walk these past few day and yesterday, my hubby had to come and pick me up several mikes from home, as I could not take another step due to pain. If I get it resolved, I will up my goal.

    @clepant - That's horrible! I'm really hoping it's just inflammation like from a virus. For you not to at least walk home has to be a lot of pain. To have both the knee and the sciatica is really bad. Hope you find out soon and it's an easy fix.

    @clepant, I hope you are better soon. That sounds so painful.

    Had some relief today. Just going slow and easy.still experiencing issues, but managed to do three short walks. At one point my Road ID went off to say that I stopped walking and was ready to send a 911. I must look pathetic.
    April 1: 5.5 miles very slow walking
    TTD: 5.5 miles
