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?
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.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!

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.0 -
@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.0

Thank you, Dave and Janet!!
I'm in for 75 miles in April
I hope everyone has a good April.

Starting April with 17 miles out of 200 and that's no April Fool's Joke.

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

Adding 14 miles for 51 out of 200. I'm paying for yesterday. I'm a bit inflamed. Soft pedaling and fewer miles. I'll tell you tomorrow if that worked.0 -

April 3: Still have flooding. Managed 4.24 miles today.

Brinkley and I hike to this local park at least once or twice a week. That was where we were headed last week when my leg decided it no longer would function. Someone abandoned this dog at the entrance this week in the terrible storms. I would have taken her home had I found her. So sad. At least several people are going to the warden to get on adopt list. Makes me sad and sick.

April 4: adding 4 miles walking
Less miles, but my speed is picking up and there was no pain or hobbling. Here is hoping things are improving. I miss moving.
TTD:18 miles 0 -
@Clepant - I work with animal control a lot and I’m always baffled at what people do with animals and think it’s OK. Even so, I can’t believe someone would just abandon that dog! Why!!! I hope he’s chipped so they can find the owner.0

Please put me down for 5 miles for April. I did make my 25 miles for March. After 18 months of going to war with Medicare I am finally scheduled for total knee replacement April 22 2024. Much later than was originally planned but my doctors fought the good fight. So in less than 2 weeks I get rid of the junk parts and get some shiny new parts.2

All updated! Sorry it got a little behind this week.
And that's MARCH GOAL for @KARID1114, @TAHM42, @ANACONDA469, and ME!
Have a great weekend, all!!

@Dean: At least there are people interested in taking her. There are better ways to surrender a dog here than to tie it to a tree in torrential rain.
@ Anaconda: I am so glad you are finally getting your knee replacement. Keeping good thoughts that all goes well.
April 5: 4.3 miles walking
TTD: 22.3 miles 0
