Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the August 2014 Move Your *kitten* Challenge!
PLEASE READ the directions below.
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 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 @ss starting Friday, August 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 don't post any July miles here. We will update the July spreadsheet once everyone has reported their July miles to the July thread - Please add only your AUGUST goals/miles to this thread.
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. Sorry, but we will not be tracking number of workouts or minutes moved in 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 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.
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. :happy:

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 in for 124 miles! Dropping it a little to focus more on running this month.0

I'm dropping my goal this month because a) I'm moving this month so life is a bit crazy and unpredictable; b) I'd like to focus a bit more on running; c) I'm going to be teaching spin more than just attending, and I can't get as many miles that way because I still have to be able to TALK while I'm riding; and d) I'm going to travel a few days at the end of the month and not sure what my level activity will be, since I'll be visiting friends and not entirely in control of my life/schedule.
Goal for August: 200 miles.0 -
Put me down for 80 please. Thanks to the moderators!!! I appreciate all your work. And to everyone else for your encouragement Joe from MO0

I'm in for 250km since I'm not sure how much I can bike/run/row in the second half of August.0
-
Oh dear. I don't know what to do. I promised myself I would go for whatever I finished on in July. I finished on 150 ish and my target was 120. If I go for 150 will I do it? Oh well lets throw caution to the wind and go for 150 miles this month. I need a miracle I think. :laugh:0

I'm in again for this month, I will up my miles to 250!! I need to really challenge myself. I can do this!0

I really like my 100 mile months. I am tempted to up my goal, but school starts back up shortly (back to school staff meeting and a training already next week! :grumble: :sad: ), so I will stay with a goal 100 please for August 0

OK. I'm going back to 400 miles on my goal. I lost my relief vet for the KooCanUsa 82 mile ride so I'm back to taking it more reasonable and sane on training for the Huckleberry 100.0
