    75 miles again for me, but this time I'm only counting the miles I run. Walking miles are just a bonus.

    exercise.png
    4/1 - 3 miles - total: 3 miles
    4/3 - 4 miles - total: 7 miles
    4/6 - 7.5 miles - total 14.5 miles
    4/7 - 7 miles - total 21.5 miles
    4/8 - 6.2 miles - total 27.7 miles
    4/9 - 4.75 miles - total 32.45
    4/11 - 7.5 miles - total 39.95

    Amendment: If I walk a total of less than 5 minutes out of 90, I'm not going to try to take the walk breaks back out of my mileage total.

    4/12 - 4.5 miles - total 44.45

    Awesome, @skippygirlsmom!!

    3 miles for me today. I have myself scheduled for 20 miles this week since I moved yesterday's run to today. I know a lot of you run much more than that but that just seems crazy to me that I am running that much. Hopefully everything goes according to plan.

    @skippygirlsmom - love the pictures and WOW - so impressed that you never stopped and kept up that pace! And you hit a wall and kept going. I haven't had that happen yet and I'm scared for the day.

    Yay! Way to go @skippygirlsmom!

    I biked today, no running for me, but I'm happy with how good my legs felt today after yesterday's long run.
