Congrats on the PR, PDR!
157.7 for me.
10K PR.
Be safe. Be kind.
124.2 miles in April. The most monthly miles in well over a year. No PR's, no races, no prime numbers, just running.

"Some are the strong, silent type. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is they bring to the table until you run without them and then you realize that their steadiness fills a hole that leaks energy in their absence." - Kristin Armstrong
173.8 miles running, including a 5k PR for certified courses where I placed 2nd in my AG. Thanks!

Thanks Carolyn. Boy this month went fast! Close to two weeks of being sick, plus taper for a marathon (though not the marathon itself) brought my monthly total down quite a bit compared to last month. Eh, it is what it is, and I'm still ahead of the pace bunny, so it's cool.
April = 154.1
YTD = 800
Missed a 15k due to being sick, but got 1st AG in the 5k.
who says life doesn't have a soundtrack?

193.46 miles for April.... my biggest month since 2008.
YTD 671.15 miles
No PRs except for the number of races in one day.....I've done a number of combo 5k and 10K races same day but this year I took the Carlsbad challenge of five 5k races the same day... the toughest part was staying loose for an 1-1/2 hours between the 4th and 5th race.
I also ran the Camp Pendleton Heartbreak Half with the Marines the following week... fun time!
Thanks
Jim, that is a lot of miles. I am impressed.
As for me, 118.3 miles in April, 444.8 miles YTD.
Good job, everyone!
Are we there, yet?
160.1 miles, my most in over 3 years. YTD I already have more miles than I had at the end of June last year.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.

Where are all the high mileage runners this month? I didn't even break 200 miles and it looks like I'm in the lead so far, with only 197 miles. (I did manage to hit a prime number!)
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
Some high mileage folks tapered for marathons, No racing for me, so I logged 180.7 miles in April.
Trails are hard!
Lou and Harriet and Perch are all sandbagging. Sneaky suspicion than Karin will be ROARing back soon.
oops--didn't read the first page completely.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

Carolyn - thanks for not counting; much appreciated.
.ps - sorry about this year's Boston for Boston runners
and for us for all the missing RR's about what it should have been about.
Please make up for it next year for for you, the injured and killed, and all of us who never can.

I was hoping April’d be better but, after missing my beloved Yakima River Canyon Marathon on 4/6/13, I missed two more at the end of the month for 126.2 non-miles in April. With February and April now added to December’s zilcher, I hereby renew my January vow to “get serious, very serious about running this year.”

150.9 miles for April for me, and 584.6 YTD. This was one of our coldest and snowiest Aprils on record (I think #3 on the coldest) and it really took the wind out of my sails for running mojo. And that 2k pace bunny is just a distant shadow on the horizon for me... rats.

177.6 miles*
I woke up the morning of April 1st with a brand-new tibial stress fracture in my left shin, and spent the entire month recovering from that by doing cross-training on an incline treadmill, walking uphill very slowly at a 30% slope.
At 2.5 MPH it's the equivalent power output in watts (~358) to running at a 7:30 pace, according to the treadmill... It takes me close to 8 minutes to climb 500 vertical feet at that speed, so I counted every 500 vertical feet as the equivalent of a flat running mile @ 7:30. Using this formula, I "ran" 177.6 miles in April. A few of these were actual normal running miles, the rest were *fake, cross-training running mile-equivalents.
Total climbing for the month of April was about 59,600 feet, so twice the height of Mt. Everest.
Stress fracture seems to be healed up now, and I've resumed running. Slower than I was in March, but not too far off the mark for having lost a month of running training.
