Cannot get the Frog App to Loop

Does anyone know why my code doesn't loop:

using System;

namespace Treehouse.FitnessFrog { class Program { static void Main() { int runningTotal = 0;

        bool keepGoing = true;
        while(keepGoing)
        {

            Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you exercised or type \"quit\" to exit: ");
            string entry = Console.ReadLine();        

            if(entry == "quit")
            {
                keepGoing = false;
            }
            else
            {

                int minutes = int.Parse(entry);
                runningTotal = runningTotal + minutes;


                Console.WriteLine("You've entered " + runningTotal + " minutes.");
            }

        }

        Console.WriteLine("Goodbye");
    }
}

}

What input do you give, and what output do you see? Do you get an error?

It would help if you can provide a snapshot of your workspace and a link to the course page you are working with.

It just let me input the details once then nothing

treehouse:~/workspace$ mono Program.exe
Enter how many minutes you exercised: 25
You've entered 25 minutes.

The snapshot will make it possible to try it out and analyze the problem. Click on the blue word in the other comment for a video on how to make and share it.

I copied the code you posted and ran it in VS, for me it's looping.

Same here. I'm counting on the snapshot to reveal some other issue.
