    @Teresa502 Sorry you are going to be stuck inside most of the day today and tomorrow. I'm fortunate that I'm not working, so will be able to get out and get some much needed work done, I hope.

    Nice run on the treadmill @Scott6255 .

    Nice running @kgirlhart . It's so hard to run in a strong wind. Love the picture of your family. I imagine 6 girls in one house was a lot to deal with at times.

    58.50 miles/60 mile goal

    I knew I was going to have a very active day, so I went out and walked a total of 1.0 mile for warm up and cool down and then ran 1.0 mile without stopping - all on the driveway. The run was 12:16 minutes. Not bad for my driveway. Then, mom and I went over to the field and cut and hauled some of the smaller cedar trees for about 1.25 hours. After resting a few minutes, I used the Gator and log chain to pull a couple of trees out my lawn that had fallen over the winter. (Calories and time not counted.) Another short rest and I went out and used the weed eater to cut down the high spots in the lawn, picked up the big limbs out of the yard and down the edge of the driveway, and used the leaf blower to get the debris off of the porches and part of the driveway. (Getting ready for the first mowing after I change the oil in the mower.) After another short rest, I went out and sprayed my car off and used a brush to get it sort of clean. I had parked under trees at work and the birds were "active." (Calories and time not counted.) I'm beat.

    Nice running and picture @Aine8046 !

    126.44/100 miles completed for March

    Just a short 2 miles today. It was a nice run. Not as windy as yesterday, but still pretty windy. Tomorrow is the last day of the streak. I have enjoyed streaking, but I am kind of looking forward to a rest day.

    @quilteryoyo You are amazing! I don't know how you do it!

    @rheddmobile - I am so happy you are ok! I saw the string of tornadoes on the news going over/around Memphis and was worried about you!
    I hope everyone else in the storms' path are safe!

    I got in a short 4.5 mile run today. Hoping to maybe get in a couple more tomorrow afternoon/evening. Have a busy day of things that must get done and the run will have to be afterwards.

    @quilteryoyo you sure are a busy lady! Amazing.
    @kgirlhart congrats on your streaking!
    @rheddmobile glad to hear your knee/leg feels better! And you and your family are safe!
    @shanaber thanks for setting up April!

    Thanks @kgirlhart . Great job on your streak this month.

    @rheddmobile I'm so glad to hear that you and your mom are okay! Sorry about your leg being worse than you thought. I hope the rest was all it needed and it will hold up to a run today.

    @shanaber Great job on your "short" run! Thanks for setting up April's challenge. Hard to believe it's that time already. Where did the first quarter of the year go?!

    Thanks @Scott6255 Yesterday was a busy day, but things must get done when the weather and work schedule allows.

    It was raining this morning so no run for me and I have a dinner/work meeting after work so no run today. I did walk on the treadmill for 1.5 miles this morning after my strength workout. I finished the month with 91.65 miles. A little short of my 100-mile goal but that’s ok because I got a couple of good long hikes on the AT in this month. Moving on to April!

    You have a lovely family @kgirlhart! Great job with your streak!

    Lots of good cross training for you @quilteryoyo!

    I’m glad your leg injury seems to be doing better @rheddmobile. Also very glad the tornado did not touch down near you or your mom.

    Thanks for setting up the April challenge @shanaber.

    You did great @Teresa502 . The rain missed us today, for the most part. Got a drizzle last night. It's been windy again today, though. I hope you can enjoy your work dinner.

    @AlphaHowls I'm glad you checked in. I didn't realize that you and your mom have had falls. I don't know how you keep up the HM streak with all that is going on with you. You are truly amazing.

    60.25 miles/60 mile goal


    Today was town day for me and mom. I got a hair cut, then we did our shopping. It was almost 4pm before I got home and I am going to open at the daycare in the morning (be there at 6:30 am), so I did a treadmill walk of 1.75 miles. I had intended to only do 1.50 to make an even 60 miles, which was my goal for March, but when I looked at the monitor, I was past that, so just walked on to get another quarter mile. I'm such an overachiever. LOL

    7 miles this evening. Not a bad run for being a pretty warm 68F and 20mph wind. But needed to get outside, and glad I did. That finishes March with just shy of 130 miles. See y'all in April ☺️

    132.46/100 miles completed for March

    I ran 6 miles this morning to finish out March with 132 miles and completed the streak. That is my second highest mileage month. When I got up the weather app said probable rain at 5:45 so I was prepared to get wet, but no rain ever came and it was a nice morning for a run. I have really enjoyed streaking this month. But I am looking forward to a true rest day tomorrow.

    Congratulations to all who met their goal this month and if you didn't, that's OK. There is always next month. See you all in the April thread!

    Seeing on the news that there are so many severe storms across the US again. I hope everyone is safe!

    I didn't end up getting any miles in today. There were just too many things going on that needed to be addressed. So I am wrapping up the month with 78.91 miles - gah! that number bugs me... should have at least done 1.1 to get to a nice even number 😂

    On to April! Great running this month everyone...

    @Scott6255 Nice run and great mileage for March!

    Congratulations on your great mileage and completing your streak @kgirlhart ! Enjoy your rest day today!

    I know what you mean @shanaber ! You did great, especially since you have been injured.

    @rheddmobile Great running this month. Glad your leg is feeling better. Love your description of the rain cloud. Look forward to new pictures of the racoons.

    Hey everyone! Another busy week, but I did manage three runs this week. I have a race this morning, but I’ll post after in April.

    *hugs* to everyone with injuries! Stay safe, my friends!
