Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the APRIL 2018 Move Your *kitten* Challenge!

PLEASE READ the directions below.

We welcome all 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 @$$ starting APRIL 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 (or kms) moved each time you update.

Please don't post any previous month's miles here. We will continue updating the previous month's spreadsheet using the old thread for approximately the first 5 or so days of the new and current month. Please add only your current month's goals/miles to this 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 either www.lilyslim.com or www.tickerfactory.com and create a Fitness ticker. 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!

    I am back. Even though the next two months are going to be long days at work to clean out....I am raising mileage to 250 for April. Thank you Dave and Janet for your data tracking.

    Happy Easter to those that celebrate. For me it is the most important day of the year. I was lost and He found me. I was dead and He gave me life.May all of you know that peace that passes all understanding. Blessings! Char

    =============================
    SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE

    See (but not edit) the
    spreadsheet here:

    ============================

    I'm on the board with 8 miles on the bike going to church. Vice President Pence is in town for Easter and I was expecting terrible traffic so I rode my bike instead. I probably looked pretty funny in my Easter dress and hat. I wonder if anyone thought it was an April Fool's joke?

    Let's make it a good month!

    April goal is 30 miles. My recovery is going to knock me down to a bare minimum of steps, let alone extras right now.

    You are awesomeness embodied.

    I’m looking at a low month .... I’ve not rested my sore Obturator Internus muscle/tendon properly and now my C25K group have graduated .... I must rest from running.

    So I’ll join you on 75 @Janet
