November Move Your @$$ Challenge

Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the NOVEMBER 2024 Move Your @$$ 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

    I'm back! Door-to-door it was 29 hours of travel. What an adventure, though.

    @KariD1114 - what was your October total please? Your ticker reset to zero.

    Please put me in for 25 miles walking for November. I am back in physical therapy as the I T. Band is still a mess. But walking is in the program.
  • clepant

    @anaxonda69: IT Banda are such a pain, literally. I had so many issues with mine when I first started running. I hope the walking helps stretch that out for you. You have a long road of recovery and I sure hope you see some moves to the positive.

    I see an orthopedic surgeon in two weeks. He is one of the leading shoulder and elbow experts in the country. My dog drag that was treated as impingement syndrome turns out to be what I initially suspected, which is a rotator cuff injury. Two tears, one partial, and one near complete with tendonitis and degradation. I hope he can save my shoulder.

    WOOHOO!! @ANACONDA469 crushed her GOAL for October! Almost doubled it! :sweat_smile: Yeah, it's just going to take some time to get that IT band to release. I did a TON of stationary biking and gentle stretching after my first knee replacement and it freed up pretty quickly. I didn't do enough after the second replacement and two years later, I'm still fighting with it. But I'm making more of an effort to deal with it now. :) I hope you get it to feel better soon! :flowerforyou:

    @CLEPANT - So sorry to hear about your shoulder! That's really unfortunate that they under-diagnosed and treated it. You could have been either all healed or close to it by now. Prayers coming your way for it to get taken care of correctly this time.

    Hi guys! Been a little crazy here the past couple months, but I am back! @clepant sending prayers your way for the shoulder. I know how that hurts. @anaconda469 stay strong my friend you definitely got this. Work, time and patience is key and you have demonstrated all 3 over the years.

    Please put me in for 50 miles this month to get me back in the habit.

    @tahm42: Welcome back. Prayers much appreciated. Truthfully, my left knee hurts worse then my shoulder,I guess I have learned to live with the pain or I have compensated or built up some strength there. I do lack movement reaching behind my back.

    Nov.7: 6 miles walking
