Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for the February 2019 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 FEBRUARY 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?
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.

Thank you Dave and Janet for your continuous dedication to keeping this running. I know that I have said it many times but if I had to give up all my regular sites on the internet but one, this would be the one I would keep. MFP has been my go to sight for 9 years. They just notified me the other day. And this group has kept me motivated to work out daily.
Please put me down for 200 miles and I will up it again if my knee behaves.
PS:While I would love to have earned 480.3 miles for January, I only earned 408.3 miles. Darn those 0’s with slashes through them; they look so much like 8’s. (Not complaining about the 408.3, just want to be honest.) Thanks.0 -

@sussexbythesea - I hope you feel better soon.
I went for a 3 mile run this morning and included some speed intervals. I was listening to a lecture about how people become excellent at something. The "10,000 hour" rule has been a popular idea, but the the speaker was saying it's not true. Take whatever you do for a living. You've done it for 10,000 hours but studies show we get worse at our jobs over time. So his theory is that to get better you need to invest quality time, and not just repeat bad habits. I thought about this in relation to my running and it's true that for the last few years I've been going through the motions and doing the same run at the same speed. I may be maintaining my fitness but I'm certainly not improving. So today I mixed it up and did speed intervals. Sure enough, my Garmin HRM said my workout was improving, not maintaining. So my inspirational thought for today is to think about what you want to do better and, rather than same old same old, think of a way to challenge yourself to improve.5
