Present progressive: either the fourth day or the fifth day I'm walking around the park

I have written down my sentence below.

(1) Today is either the forty-fifth or forty-sixth day I'm walking thirty laps around the park. (You say it as you are walking.)

My non-native English speaking friends think the present progressive would work better if you rewrote the sentence as two sentences.

(1) Today is the forty-fifth day that I'm walking around thirty laps around the park. Or, it's the forty-sixth day. (You say it as you are walking.)

Whose version is correct? Thank you very much.
