    15.3 for the day, 55.9 for the week. Finally getting back up to my regular mileage. Didn't feel too bad out there, but I need to get used to spring weather!

    Keep it up, folks! 13 days left, let's make them count!

    I just updated the spreadsheet and looks like about half of us are over halfway done -- other folks may just need to update the sheet. Stay strong!

    Dave, in future spreadsheets, can we get a % days of month remaining column next to % of miles remaining, for comparison purposes? I don't know if you can set it to automatically cycle to the next numerical day of the month though.

    Sure, that's easy to do. But we don't actually need a whole column -- it would be the same for everyone.

    Per SDM80's suggestion, I added a box indicating how much of the month is left. This gives you a good point of comparison to the percentage of miles remaining. Keep it up, everyone!

    I upped my goal by 60 miles, seeing how I surpassed the old one. The "% of the month left" is a really clever addition!

    Thanks Dave.

    I give up trying to update this on my iphone. Need a real computer.

    Ran the Two Oceans Ultramarathon (56km/35mi). Would love to race it, but paced it as a long run. Very proud of my self control and hit most of my time markers within a minute of the planned pace. Final finish was about 20s off my targeted finish time. Running as opposed to racing has its advantages and recovery was quick (i.e. I could get up and down stairs without having to pull myself using my arms!)

    Great job! Way to execute the plan!

    Updated my mileage goal to a 100-still have to wear the ankle sleeve when I run, but oh well.

    We're in the home stretch, folks -- just two days left in the month!

    I took a wild guess at my mileage and somehow with two days left I just need 13 miles. I had a tough race this weekend (I was a member of a 215-mile relay team and ran 39 miles) but I'm not feeling too bad today, so I think I'm going to make it! I will update the chart later today.

    224.8 miles for the month. My goal was 225. Nope, not gonna go out for a .2-mile run. This month is done, and I'm calling it a win. I was recovering from a 50K trail run and pretty much made a random guess at the mileage I'd hit for the month. I'd say I guessed pretty well!

    I'm going to try to set up the May challenge this morning; I'll let you know when it's ready!

    The May challenge is live!

    I will update the April spreadsheet one more time tomorrow, so you still have a chance to log any April runs (or even run 1 or 3 more times today!)
