Hi all, It's time again to post your total monthly miles. As Tramps used to say, "A mile is a terrible thing to waste" - where is Tramps, anyway? So post your miles for April, no matter how many or how few. And if it was on the "few" side, no whining or offering excuses! (Explanations are OK - just not excuses!) Also post any PRs for the month, and for those of you well-rounded enough to do cross-training, go ahead and let us know!

I don't know why I chose this picture - just seemed appropriate...

Thanks for doing this, Carolyn! This month a little low due to taper and reverse taper. I gotta watch my back -- the pace bunny (or 'PB' as he's affectionately known) is catching up! April: 128.1 YTD: 715 MTA: almost forgot my 10miler PR of 72:31 (DC Cherry Blossom)

How did you get my picture Wildchild? Confused

202.0 miles in April 774.4 miles year-to-date. Bill Edited to add: Wow! 4 months in and CNYRunner already has over 1000 miles. Bigtime!

Thanks Carolyn Smile

April - 204.6 miles 740.4 YTD....I just realized I'm on pace for over 2000 miles this year Cool

Never paid attention before, until I started using the log here at RA....Great feature Tim

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
