Series 2 is all about the Spirit of the Challenge: The spirit of the #KSKM2020Challenge is to
move under our own power as much as possible; to find ways to move under our
own power that perhaps we weren’t taking (enough) advantage of before.
It’s not
how far or how long you go; it’s about getting up and going!
In Series 2, The
People get a point for any activity that embodies the spirit of the challenge.
Spirit Of the CHallenge
Activities (or SOCHA) generally
fall into two categories:
1) Replace motorized movement with self-propelled
activity. Examples include but (knowing this group) are certainly not limited
to:
o Taking
the stairs when an escalator or elevator is available
o Walking
or biking to local places (shopping, library, bank, restaurants, visiting
friends, etc.) instead of taking the car
o Parking
at the far end of the parking lot at work, a shopping center, entertainment
venue etc. and walking to the entrance
2)
Engage in an event or activity that requires
self-propelled movement – visit a museum, a zoo, a festival or fair, take a
hike or a walk, go for a run, a bike ride etc.
In essence, any exercise or self-propelled movement gets
you a point. For this series, The People may
earn unlimited SOCHA points. Earn one every day if you like. Earn
more than one in a day – however, points are earned only for different things
or trips. For example, if Perki walks to the store in the morning and to the
library in the afternoon on the same day that’s 2; if Perki walks to the store
and the library in the same trip that’s 1; if Perki goes for a hike in the
morning and walks to the bank in the afternoon that’s 2 and so on. (Perki isn’t
eligible for prizes but will be playing along)
The People can earn extra points with their SOCHA by engaging
in the following February themes: Shadow, Repeat, Leap, Friendship
·
In February the groundhog attempts to see his SHADOW.
·
In the movie Groundhog Day, Bill Murray had to REPEAT
his day over and over.
·
In 2020 we celebrate a LEAP year.
·
February is International FRIENDSHIP
Month
REPEAT – repeat an exercise or activity
you did/enjoyed in series 1. It’s not required but consider trying to build on
or expand the effort spent doing the activity in series 1.
LEAP – celebrate leap year by taking a leap
(of faith in yourself) and try something new in exercise / self-propelled movement.
FRIENDSHIP – Do an exercise or
self-propelled activity with family or friend(s) for an extra point. Family or Friend
do not have to be part of the challenge. Although you could consider inviting
them to join us. 😊
·
In the case where multiple people in the same
group activity would like friendship points, each person in the group who wants
friendship points must take and post a separate photo of or from the group
activity.
SHADOW – get an extra point for any of the
above when you take a shadow photo. One shadow photo point available per person
for each activity.
- In group activities the person who posts the photo gets the credit, however, multiple people from the same group can post different shadow photos from the group activity for their own credit.
·
1 for each SOCHA;
·
+1 because your SOCHA met the REPEAT or LEAP
criteria;
·
+1 because the activity was accomplished with a
FRIEND;
·
+1 because you managed a SHADOW photo during the
activity.
However, you must provide enough detail in your
description of the activity to make it clear to Perki that you satisfied the
various point thresholds.
PRIZES:
For series 2 there will be a prize drawing for
participation. For every point you earn, you get one entry in the participation
prize drawing thereby increasing your odds of winning.
For series 2 there will also be a popular vote (and
prize) for best shadow picture. Details to follow.
Document your activities with photos that include your
name, the date, and the activity. For Friendship, if the photo does not show people
tell us who you were with. It’s always optional to tell the group a story about
your activity and you never know when your story will inspire someone else.
