Not sure what I've done wrong.

I have been following the tutorial almost exactly, yet when I try to compile the file I get two errors I can't divine the cause of. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

This is my code:

using System;

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

    while (keepGoing)
    {
        // promt the user for minutes exercised
      Console.Write("How many minutes have you exercised? Type \"Quit\" to Exit: ");

      string entry = Console.ReadLine();

      if (entry == "Quit");
      {
        keepGoing = false;
      }
        else
        {
        int minutes = int.Parse(entry);

        if(minutes <= 0)
        {
          Console.WriteLine(minutes + " is not a valid entry. Get to work, slacker!");
          continue;
        }

        else if(minutes <= 10)
        {
          Console.WriteLine("Well... it's a start, at least!");
        }
        else if(mintues <= 30)
        {
          Console.WriteLine("Nice work! Keep up the momentum!");
        }
        else if (mintues <= 60)
        {
          Console.WriteLine("Well done! You're doing great!");
        }
        else
        {
          Console.WriteLine("Whoa, maybe you should take a break!");
        }

        // add minutes exercised to total
       runningTotal = runningTotal + minutes;

        // display total minutes exercised
      Console.WriteLine("You've exercised " + runningTotal + " minutes!");
      }
        // repeat until the user quits
    }

    Console.WriteLine("Goodbye!");
  }

} }

And the errors I have been getting are:

Program.cs(20,11): warning CS0642: Possible mistaken empty statement
Program.cs(23,10): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol else' Program.cs(52,246): error CS1525: Unexpected symbolend-of-file'
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 1 warnings

To fix the next is errors is:

else
        {
        int minutes = int.Parse(entry); //change this declaration into just an initalizing step

So at the very top make minutes a variable declaration at top of main, accessible multiple places.

 class Program { 

static void Main() {
int minutes;


..}

Then change the previous else line to this:

else
        {
        minutes = int.Parse(entry); //change this declaration into just an initalizing step

Also at two else if blocks in the conditions you spelt minutes wrong.

else if(mintues <= 30) //<--here
        {
          Console.WriteLine("Nice work! Keep up the momentum!");
        }
        else if (mintues <= 60) //<--here
