here's the new thread for the September move your *kitten* challenge.....welcome to the newbies, welcome back to the oldies...

set your goal, make your ticker or add your goal and current miles moved into your signature and get moving starting tomorrow 9/1...please do not post any AUGUST miles here...dinos will update our AUGUST spreadsheet shortly.....only add September goals/miles here....welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself....

we have been moving our @sses with measurable distances since november as a group of people here on MFP....several have been doing it since the beginnning some come new in each month and some drop off after joining....the goal is to set a distance goal KM or Miles and track your distance for the month...you are challenging yourself, not competing against anyone else.....the miles can be on a treadmill, the stairmaster, the elliptical, the bike, rollerblades, walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming (if you can measure).....just set a goal and do the work...report to the thread often to keep dinos updated because he tracks our info on a spreadsheet 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...welcome and good luck if you decide to join us...

    I can't believe it's September already!! Well, last month I bumped up my goal miles to 50. I ended up going to the gym far less than the previous month. So with my starting school again (tonight) I think I will set my gal @ 30 miles.

    How do we do the ticker for it? I can only find the weight loss one...

    I'm in again and I'm upping my goal this month. I just joined a gym so between walking the dog and now the treadmill at the gym I hope to do 90 miles this month instead of 50. It is supposed to be a challenge, right?

    I'd like to join. But I have bad knees, so I swim. Can I put the distance to reflect the time in the pool vs what you guys do on the road? Thanks!

    figure out how many laps in the pool = one mile. I think it's 32 for my pool (I have bad knees as well, so my exercise is mostly walking/swimming). They should know there.

    One mile is 1760 yards - so if you swim in a pool w/ a 25 yrd length, then one mile = 70.4 laps

    Yeah, when I was on swim team, down/back was a lap, rather than just one length, which our coach just called a length. Sorry for the semantic confusion :P

    I tore it up last month, but I think my husband may kill me if I have to ride every morning again this month. I was late to work every day. :happy: And I'm adding some running this month. I will have to sit down and think about my mileage for the month. Also have two long distance rides coming up. 50 miles on the 17th I think and 100 miles on Oct.1, which, thanks to last month's challenge I plan on rockin.

    I would love to go a 2nd month. I beat last months goal of 30 miles so I'm shooting for 50 miles this month. How do I set up a new ticker for this month without erasing last months numbers?

    I could never seem set up a new ticker for this month without erasing last months numbers.

    Maybe you can try starting a whole NEW login and account with ticker factory for Sept?

    I'm in and keeping my goal @ 60. Hoping I crush it this month rather than eke it out at the last minute like I am today. :bigsmile:

    I'm in... I will combine walking/running/hiking. Since this is my first challenge like this, I am going to go for 50 miles. After September I will reevaluate and see if I should up it! :)
