    @Teresa502 You did great this month. I wouldn't worry about not meeting your running goal either with so much weighted hiking going on AND being sick. You did GREAT!

    Great running everyone! Congrats to those who met/exceeded their goal and to those who got out there and did the best you could under difficult circumstances. I think you all rock!

    @Tramboman Better watch out. You may be beginning to really like the treadmill!

    @AlphaHowls - you are just so amazing!
    @rheddmobile - we have so many hummingbirds here. I see them out on the trail sometimes just sitting on the fence watching everything. Often they don't even fly away when people pass by. We have the two or three that I see everyday out my window, eating gnats on the vines and there are a couple of aggressive ones who dive bomb Hobbes in the backyard.

    83.61/100  miles completed for April
    I didn't run Wednesday or Thursday.  It was very stormy Wednesday morning and we even had a tornado nearby.  Thursday wasn't as stormy, but was still very rainy. I was finally able to get out for a run today. It was cloudy and I had  few sprinkles, but no real rain. I ran 5.5 miles to finish up April with 83.6 miles. So short of my 100 mule goal, but my main goal for April was to run my 10K well and I did so it's all good. 

    Today was also my first run with my new watch. I just upgraded my Garmin FR35 to a FR45s. It is still a fairly basic watch, but it does have more options than the old watch. Plus I really like that it came in a smaller size.  Now I just have to find a good watch face to download and figure out how to send workouts to the my watch.
    I will have to go back and catch up on the thread. I also need to think about my goal for May. See you all in the May thread.

    @shanaber - yes, torture is the correct word.
    Did Hobbes glare at you to make you feel guilty for leaving him and going back out?

    @kgirlhart Glad the tornado didn't hit any closer and hope everyone is okay. Yay for the new watch. When mine dies, I may get a different version. The Forerunner 235 is really big and I have tiny wrists. Great running and meeting your goal of a FANTASTIC10K.
