    @4leighbee: So sorry for you! But at least you know what's wrong and what to do about it. Maybe that's a great chance to do some cross training, even if you have to do it wearing the ugly boot. Take care!

    @peeanoe: Congratulations, you broke the 4 mile wall! Enjoy your long Sunday runs :)

    @shanaber: 100 miles are totally exciting, even if you run so much every month. I'm glad I think in kilometres, so I have a chance of reaching that magic number with a little less actual distance covered ^^

    ---

    22.04.2015 -- 6.9 km
    68.1 km (of 100km) done
    Spring is definitely here now! It's so pretty when the trees in the park are all covered in blossoms. That's one of the things I really like running, spending time outside and watching the seasons change.

    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.

    @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.
