    @shanaber - I'd be excited to hit 100 a month too! I'm planning on getting there this summer.
    @_nikkiwolf_ - good point on getting to watch the seasons change as runners. I don't get many seasons in Florida but since starting to run in August, I've noticed so many things outside that I never saw before!

    70K Target for me. Just found the group - Nice work. Thanks for setting this up!

    I have lost 11.5 Kg (Over 1.7 Stone) since joining Myfitnesspal in Jan, and running. Couldn't run 300 Metres at that point but am now regularly running 5K Parkruns. Best time 24:35, which I'm very happy with!

    I love running in groups, but equally enjoy early morning runs with just my Garmin watch for company.

    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

    Another amendment: I can't differentiate running time and walking time when I run outdoors, so I'm counting the whole thing. I think I prefer the treadmill, overall.

    4/13 - 7 miles - total 51.45
    4/14 - 2 miles - total 53.45
    4/15 - 2 miles - total 55.45
    4/16 - 2 miles - total 57.45
    4/19 - 2.5 miles - total 59.95
    4/21 - 7 miles - total 66.95
    4/23 - 4 miles - total 70.95

    4/20 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/21 - 4 miles on indoor track

    @skippygirlsmom Maybe I was supposed to carry it as a compact to fix my makeup in? Another race series gives out medals that are also bottle openers. It weighs like 6 lbs, though. Besides the ridiculous, vaguely racist belt buckle I won at a triathlon last year, it's the worst medal ever.
    ETA: yes, we did 36 laps of the same .1 mile course yesterday. It was rough.

    The medals are too funny! One of the mom's from soccer said to me one night, you should run the track while the girls are practicing. I said I need to run 10 miles, she said how long is the track, I said 1/4 mile, she said see that would be great. I said okay you stand here and count out 40 laps. The light bulb when off in her head and she said how boring :-)

    Yeah, I tried to run laps at my son's soccer practice...it was the worst thing ever....

    Maybe it would be good for just doing speed work...but the idea of doing a huge number of laps bored me to death...

    If it's a training run, I wouldn't taper for it. Train right through it :)

    More or less, I am. Took an extra day off Wednesday, went easy yesterday, pretty normal day today. Rest day tomorrow mostly due to brutal schedule of kids' activities. Then HM on Sunday. It's only my second one. Setting a goal of <1:55:00 and shooting for <1:50:00 for the next one on May 30.

    4/1 - Nice 3.1 miles on indoor track
    4/2 - Brutal 4.75 miles of "hilly" treadmill
    4/4 - 10 miles, nice mix of hills
    4/6 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/8 - 4 miles on indoor track (33:16...pretty speedy for me)
    4/9 - Another hot, humid 5 miles on a "hilly" treadmill (Total 30.85/110)
    4/10 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/12 - 11 miles, on the windy side, but otherwise nice
    4/13 - 2 recovery miles - maybe should have skipped it...ouch!
    4/14 - power outage = no alarm = unplanned rest
    4/15 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/16 - 5 miles on treadmill (nice mix of hills, tempo and a few short "sprints")
    4/17 - 4 miles on indoor track; weather forecast is making the 12-miler for the weekend look difficult to get in :/
    4/18 - 10.4 miles; managed to squeeze in a shorter run than I planned between the thunderstorms
    4/20 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/21 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/22 - planned rest day, part of my pseudo-taper. Blah. HM on Sunday, then another in 5 more weeks...don't need no stinkin' taper B) FYI, I don't post my weight workouts, stationary bike or other workouts here. So, some of those days not listed had other workouts.
    4/23 - 5 easy miles on treadmill ("base pace" with a few burst of tempo and sprints...no hills)
    4/24 - 4.5 miles on indoor track (Total 89/110)
