    Well done jeannie, sneaking extra miles in on rest day :)

    Had an amazing session at the pool and breathing, stroke, kick and positoining have all improved dramaticly. Nice quick blast on the bike then went for the run. Planned an easy paced 10k trail run but about 2k in my knee give out. Made it home and spoke to the physio but looks like my LCL is sprained. Looks like a week off from running maybe no bike and just upper body swims. :( boooooooo

    Oh Jeannie! Wasn't the weather simply divine yesterday! My goodness, temps hit the high seventies. Spring is making her way to the Deep South. Bring it, woman!

    Gruff, just when your outstanding mileage threatens to make me growl at you (pure envy, I assure you :# ), you go and sneak right back into my affections with an injury. So sorry about your knee. :( I HATE being down! I turn into the crabbiest person ever when I can't go and do like I want to... You certainly don't need to be told to just take it easy and allow the healing but I'm a mom so I can't help myself. You just take it easy this week and allow healing. o:)

    I didn't think I would have much to show for yesterday with so much driving time but I'm moderately satisfied anyway.

    3.02 miles

    31.76 total miles

    **edited to say "Welcome, new guys!!"

    yesssssssssssssssss and WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!'!!!!!

    I AM SO SO SORRY Gruff. You were doing so well. I know you are excited about the Bike run. Hope things are much better for you fast. I know about the 'being down' since I was in that mode for several weeks....ughhhhhh.
    ..It looks like I may get a rest day this week. We have several COLD days coming where temps will not get out of the thirties....RATS! I was so looking for SPRING WEATHER..

    Also, jesiann, the sunshine was short lived. We had rain by the time morning came.. It looked like it was clearing so my husband dropped me off 3.25 miles away. I forgot my umbrella. Halfway thru my walk it rained off and on several times. Luckily I only got soaked on the outside...lol...The other thick sweat shirt inside of my outer kept me dry and warm...

    Today 3.25 mile walk....
    Exercise Bike 5.5 miles today...

    TOTAL this far...............19.75 walking miles.....
    .....................................40.7 Exercise Bike miles....

    Good Tuesday morning, milers! Way to go, Undecided. JohnH71 is rolling as well. BlisterLamb and drbcru are cruising right along too. Fab, guys! :)

    Jeannie, I can hardly stand to think you were walking in the rain!! UGH! Pray you don't catch cold getting wet out in the elements like that. We've got the AC running down here. Almost hit 80° yesterday. Another beauty in store for today!

    Gruff, continue to take it easy. Seems like the swimming might actually help, huh? Hope so.

    4.96 miles

    I know you are disappointed Gruff but hang in there. This too shall pass. We being human don't have a lot of patience. I am the worlds worst as I want everything done like YESTERDAY...lol

    I don't feel I got a chill jesiann. I took a hot shower soon as I got in. I did not feel cold even so I think I'll be ok.....AIR COND? LOL and almost 80 degrees? I SO WISH!!!! It did reach about 57 yesterday. They say 51 today but that will be in the valley. We will be cooler here on this mountain. Tomorrow calling for 59 and really sunny! That will be a really great day. I am waiting too see if it will warm up enough too take the girls out. It is quite windy. I di manage a 30 minute exercise bike ride early morning. 6.1 miles... we will see what the rest of the day brings....I will do my UPDATE TOTALS then...

    The challenge (AND WELCOME HOLLY) is too get in at least 100 miles and log your progress here. Just follow what we do. The main goal is too go as far past 100 miles as you can...

    Today I got in Exercise Bike Miles only as it was very cold and windy here. Wind chill was around 30 degrees. I just can't walk that cold...

    Exercise Bike miles........13.1 miles

    TOTAL this far...............19.75 walking miles.....
    .....................................58.3 Exercise Bike miles....

    Walked 6 miles today, so that's 42.2 walking miles. I may try using the stationary bike again. I just feel like I can never get comfortable enough to use it for long periods of time. :neutral_face:
