January 2014 Move Your *kitten* Challenge

Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the January 2014 Move Your *kitten* Challenge in our new GROUP setting....Rules are the same...see directions below:

The first MYAC thread was in November 2010 and has been going strong and growing more and more each month. It's hard to believe that we have been going strong for over 3 years now. That's pretty freaking awesome if I do say so myself.

Welcome to the newbies and welcome back to the oldies.

"Rules of the Challenge"
1. Set your goal....distance ONLY (Miles or KMs) - NO minutes, NO # of workouts, NO # of steps - DISTANCE ONLY.
2. Make your ticker if you want to use one (see directions below) or add your goal to the thread.
3. Get moving your @ss starting Wednesday, January 1st.
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 moved each time you update.

Please remember DO NOT post any December miles here...Dave will update our December spreadsheet once everyone has reported in their December miles to the other thread - Please add only January goals/miles to this thread.....

The goal 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, the stairmaster, the elliptical, the bike, roller blades, walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming (if you can measure).....Just set a distance goal and do the work...Sorry we will not be tracking number of workouts or minutes moved on this challenge - ONLY distance....

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 compete with them....the idea is to set your goal and reach it before the end of the month....

Once the thread hits 500 posts it will roll to a 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th part. Click the link on the last post that says <continue at this topic> to post your update.

Welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself....

Link to the google spreadsheet:

Directions for making a ticker:
Go to tickerfactory.com and create a weight loss/fitness ticker (link is lower left side of page). Then copy the BB code and paste it into your posts on this thread each time you do an update.

    I've managed 30 quite easily in the past couple of months, so I'm in with 40 miles running in January. Bring it on!

    I'm going to stay with 50 miles for January, I passed it pretty early this month, but I think the weather is going to play a bigger role.

    I'm going to go with 150 (fitbit) miles again this month. The last two months I reached that but not until the final few days of the month, so that seems like a good number for now. Once spring rolls around and I can get outside to run I'll probably bump that up, but that's a good January number.

    I am going to try for 150miles in January. Hopefully the ice and subzero temps take a break so I can make it.

    I'm going for 70 miles this month. I barely made my 55 in January, but all it would mean is 1 more spin class and I think that's manageable.
