MARCH 2014 - Move Your @ss Challenge

Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the March 2014 Move Your *kitten* Challenge. See the 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." --Bluiz13

Welcome to the newbies and welcome back to the oldies! :drinker:

"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 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 @ss starting Saturday, March 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 February miles here. We will update the February spreadsheet once everyone has reported their February miles to the Feb thread - Please add only your March 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 <continued at this topic> to post your update. The main MYAC Group page will always list the current thread though.

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

Link to the Google spreadsheet where you can view (but not edit). The Challenge Admins will update it for you at mostly random times....:laugh:....but typically at least once a day. Don't hold us to that though. :bigsmile:

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. (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! :flowerforyou:

    I'm going to go for 64 miles this month. I was born in 1964 and my birthday is March 28th (yes, making me turn that dreaded f-f-fifty).

    So, 64 for me. It was a good year :laugh:

    OK.... This is my first full month of a mileage challenge, so it's hard to really know what to pick. I am thinking this might be an overly ambitious goal, but I'm going for it: 230 miles in March.

    I'm in for 100. I think I will manage to make my hundred today and I'm on school break for part of March so will probably go over but I hate not making a goal!

    Please put me down for 125 March miles!
  • I am going to set my March Goal at 75. Last month (my 1st month in this group) I had a goal of 42 and passed my goal by over 25 miles. When I first started I was scared that I wouldn't be able to get 42 whole miles, now 42 seems like a piece of cake :drinker:
