Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the September 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

Things will be a little different this month.....

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 Sunday, September, 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.


For now we will get the sheet set up with the partcipants and once all goals are entered, each participant should check the sheet ...right now it is not open for everyone to edit - just me and Dave, i'll add sara and janet for now and hopefully we can do our best to keep the sheet updated and make sure everyone stays current...we may switch to participants entering their own miles on the sheet but for now we'll stick to how it was before but with Dave (darkrider42) has offered to take over what Dino does on the sheet to continue collecting our data for the challenge for the end of month stats....

Please do not post any August miles here...We will get the August sheet updated this week once all miles are reported for August. I'm hoping Dino helps us out by finishing up August's sheet - pretty please :)

Please add only September 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 next part to post your update.

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

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.

link to new sheet - not set up yet with new participants but it will be once the thread starts filling up....

    Thank you Bluiz and Dinos for keeping track of all of us!

    I think I'll shoot for another 250 miles this month, but hopefully I'll plan it out a little better, rather than wait till the last week:)

    Thank you for keeping it open and your continued efforts. We do appreciate it.

    I'm going to stick to 45 miles and see if I can't blow past it earlier this time.

    Thanks all...and thanks to Dark Rider for keeping the challenge alive. I'm going to drop down to a goal of 150 miles for September, as I'd like to focus more of my efforts on strength training, but don't want to give it up yet either :)

    Thank you dinos for all you have done in the past. I certainly appreciate your efforts. To the people who will maintain this awesome thread going forward, thank you all :flowerforyou:

    As for the September challenge, I have a couple of runs scheduled so will have to reorganize my schedule. I'm going to downgrade a little to 200 miles. Good luck everyone!

    UPDATED TO HERE :smile:

    Hi everyone! I'd just like to introduce myself. I go by lots of names around here, but Dave, Darkrider or DR works just fine. I'm a grizzled veteran of many of the these MYAC challenges having missed only 7 since they started. I am grateful to Dinos and Denise and all the others that have helped in keeping this challenge going, volunteering countless hours. I know I am not alone in appreciating it VERY much!! :drinker:

    Having benefitted greatly from participating in this regularly over the last couple of years, I figured it was time to pay it back a little and have volunteered to take the reins for some indeterminate period. haha I've had some time to look over the spreadsheet and am picking it up very quickly. Hopefully I won't need to pester Dino too terribly much in the interim while I get fully up to speed. :bigsmile:

    What I ask from all of you is simply this: PATIENCE. If you see something that looks funny, questionable, askew, every so slightly tilted, or just plain flat out wrong.....let me or one of the others (Bluiz13, others?) know kindly via PM and we will take a look at it at our earliest opportunity.

    But of course, being the new guy, I'm suuuuuuuure I won't do anything wrong..... :laugh: Sooooo, give the new guy a break!

    I would like to extend a very warm welcome all the new participants as well as the veterans.

    HAPPY MOVING!!!

    OH! I almost forgot! I'm in for 60 miles again this month.

    And one additional reminder about the spreadsheet....the one containing Sept 2013 and going forward is at the NEW ADDRESS that Denise (Bluiz13) posted in the very first message of this thread and I will repeat here:
