Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the May 2016 Move Your *kitten* Challenge!
PLEASE READ the directions below.
Welcome to the newbies and welcome back to the oldies!
"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 Sunday, May 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 (kms) moved each time you update.
Please don't post any APRIL miles here. We will continue updating the APRIL spreadsheet using the APRIL thread for approximately the first 5 or so days of May. Please add only your May goals/miles to this May thread. Got it?
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.
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.
Welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself!
Link to the Google spreadsheet where you can view (but not edit). The Challenge Admins will update it for you at mostly random times.... ....but typically at least once a day. Don't hold us to that though.

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!

Thank you to each of the recorders of the miles. I appreciate your time and work keeping us on track.
I am in for 200 this month. It is pack up my room and throw out as we are in full blown renovations starting this month.
May 1: 16.5 miles today. Completed my third half marathon today. It was tough on the surgerically impaired knee. Not sure if I will do any more without working with a trainer to help that knee. I lost 155 pounds since January to help with the weight baring issues and I still need another 10 to be close to running weight but I am going to rethink some training if I want to keep up with halfs. God bless Janet and others doing a full marathon. As I finished mile 10 at just under 2 hours, I thought there was no way I could split and off and run another 16.2. But I did get a PR today and shaved 4:23 off my time.
16.5 miles of running 13.1 and walking 4.4
TTD: 16.5 miles

@Clepant - Nicely done! It's amazing how much help a good trainer can be. Just remember, if he things pain is temporary and pride is forever, he's wrong. Pain is forever and Pride is temporary. That's why I'm not running anymore.
