March 2013 Move Your *kitten* Challenge

bluiz13

Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the March 2013 Move Your *kitten* Challenge.....

The first MYAC thread was in November 2010 and has been going strong and growing more and more each month.....Welcome to the newbies and welcome back to the oldies

1. Set your goal....distance ONLY - preferably miles - no minutes, no # of workouts, no # of steps - DISTANCE.
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 Friday, Feb 1st.
4. Post as often as you can to the thread so Dino 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.

Please do not post any February miles here...Sara, Janet and I will update our February spreadsheet when the month ends and Dino will do his fancy *kitten* to give us all the awesome stats Please add only 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 tracks 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....

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

Count me in again, February was fun, hopefully I will make my goal in March. Since I fell a little short last month but it was a shorter month lets set my goal at 31 miles, I should be able to measure at least 1 mile per day

leambi

Count me in for 400 miles for March, hopefully going to start running to break up all the cycling i have been doing.

strongershell

Had to take a month off due to moving and setting up house but I'm back again.

Goal is 74 miles rowing and walking.

pdfrazier08

Going for 80 again in March. Fell short in February but am determined I can do this!

Ih8thedreadmill

I'm in for 75 'running' miles in March

animefan914

I am in for 100 miles.

I am going on a business trip at the end of the month and probably won't have internet access. I am hoping to get back April 1st, but because of bad connections, I am not sure. I may not be able to post my miles for the trip until the 3rd or 4th. Is that too late? I will try to post earlier and hopefully some on the trip, but there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding this trip.

bluiz13

my goal for march is 75 miles with 45 of them just running....

DouMc

I have failed the last two months but this time I will make it to 50 miles if it kills me!

megfah

I'm back and so excited to move my @ss in March! My goal is 50 miles, running only.

HOPEFULLY some of it will even be outside (I type while sitting at home on a snow day . . . . sigh).

I met my goal of 40 miles in Feb by completely neglecting strength training. But I'm hoping that with a longer month and improved endurance, I'll be able to do both this month.

Count me in! 75 miles!

Okay, Megfah, I accept your challenge to move my *kitten* with this thread. My goal is 40 miles for the month. I run my miles outside in the Wisconsin weather with my incredibly loyal and energetic running partner, Winston (featured in my MFP ticker). I'm looking forward to this accountability as I prepare for an 8k at the end of April.

Ecce_Signum

is it possible for me to have 2 tickers? i want one for my weight loss and one for my miles.

Yup, MFP can create your weight loss ticker and if you follow the link at the top of this thread you can create your running ticker and you just paste the code into your post

brookeboule

This is exciting! My goal is 55 miles this March, mostly running. We will see how it goes

TammyS327

Im in for 75 miles

brookehe

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I track miles on my stationary bike (it doesn't do it for me)? Does a pedometer work? Is there a formula to translate time into miles? I'd like to join the challenge, but due to weather often have to bike rather than walk. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Leeann1979

Lowering my goal a little this month. Have had a hard time reaching goal, but with the weather slowly warming up I am hoping to log more miles outside.

Goal for March: 40 miles

foleyshirley

I haven't done as well the last couple of months. I am hoping that with the upcoming time change, and my spring break, I can do better. I am going for 60 miles, but that may be a stretch.

deniseblossoms

Going to commit for 250 miles for March:)

bigmama65

I really really suck at making my "moving my butt" goals these past few months. But I am a trooper and I am in once again and going to slow it down and make my March walking goal to 31 miles for 31 days.

Lets do it

Kashmir09

YAY will try my best for 65 miles (walking)

Hellbent_Heidi

I'm going to aim for 175 in March...and hope to crush it!
