Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the September 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 Thursday, 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 (kms) moved each time you update.

Please don't post any AUGUST miles here. We will continue updating the AUGUST spreadsheet using the AUGUST thread for approximately the first 5 or so days of September. Please add only your September goals/miles to this September thread. Got it? :smiley:

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. :wink: )

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. :smile:

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!

    Ok, I'm in for 200 miles this month. Life is less hectic this month, but I'm not going for an insane mile goal like I did last month (300). Let's see where this month takes me. Who knows...I may surprise myself!!

    Crazy training and teaching schedule this month has me wondering about time. But, I do a lot of my planning on my feet too. Put me down for 120 miles for September. :)

    I too want to thank everyone who keeps this group going, we really, really appreciate all of your efforts. And also thank you fellow group members. Knowing you are here and doing the best you can with all life keeps throwing at you keeps me up on my feet too. Let's all have a fantastic September.

    Got up early to do my miles before the never ending house repairs started. Then I get a call that there was a mix up so it's canceled for today. Did 3.1 miles, even ran 0.5 since I was a little concerned about the time. May go out later and add more. Or go to Target for some retail therapy.
