Weather sucks!!!! Treadmill run.  At least I got to run with Teren and Cole.  I have been struggling badly with my Achilles. I haven't been able to run regularly.  Hopefully I can get on a roll again.  I have a very modest goal to pace Lily to a sub-20 5k this summer.  But, since she is already down to a 5:41 mile, she will probably be quite a bit faster than that.

Around 8 miles I think.  2.25 warmup.  2 x 1.5 miles.  Three minute jog in between.  Then I ran 5 x 300 meters all out with Wolfpack kids.  Cooldown two laps on grass and then a jog home.  9:42, 9:38 for 1.5 miles. 61-62 for first four 300s. 56 on last one.  That hurt.

A bit short of the 200 mile mark for the month. I missed a bit for camp.  But, way over the 300 mile goal I had planned for May/June.  It's nice to be more consistent.  I would like to hit 400 miles for July/August.  When I start teaching again, it's going to get tough.  And, September will be really rough when I start performances for Bright Star. But, I will do what I can

Not a good day.  Plan was to run the Murray Days 5k.  Warmed up two miles.  Didn't feel great on the warm up. Definitely struggling the first mile of the race.  Hit the turn around.  Tried to pick up the second mile.  Stomach started to cramp badly and felt really dizzy.  Aborted race at 2 miles and went to find a bathroom.  Was sick all day yesterday.   Not sure what was going on.  I think mostly hydration and recovery.  I'm running in the mornings and doing three hours of dancing at night in a hot theatre.  In high heeled dance shoes.  Doesn't mix very well.

I am going to try to focus more on slower aerobic runs.  I think I exist in a perpetual state of extreme tiredness.  So, I put my garmin on the heart rate monitor and focused on staying fully aerobic and ignore pace.  I really love to hammer my runs, so this took an immense amount of restraint.  I started to creep into threshold on the uphills, but managed to keep my heart rate below 150 for the most part.  7:56 average.  It probably wouldn't hurt me to even back off a little more.

Ended up backing off this week due to some swelling in my heel.  I'm doing a lyrical dance all on my toes and my troublesome Achilles tendon does not like it one bit.  I was not made to dance.  I like it though!

Steamy morning. My Achilles is hating life.  It wasn't a pleasant run.

New month.  Show is over.  Time to see if I can get past the constant exhaustion and swollen Achilles tendon and work out a little more this month. Mentally I feel so much better when running.

Light run to shake out callback nerves and open up my voice.

Angry run.  Pounding out my frustration of not getting cast in Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder after slaying at the audition.

I'm fighting a cold virus.  Running easy seems to help clear out my lungs and head a bit.  Hopefully, I didn't just wear myself out for the rest of the day.

 Not feeling great. Voice is still gone.  Running helps open the throat and lungs up.

Waiting for a casting call has got me all sorts of jumpy and nervous.  And it shows in my run. 8 miles at 7:15 average.  That's a bit faster than I have been running

I pretty much haven't run in a month and physically I feel so gross!!!!  I'm taking this vacation week to spend some quality time outside running.  I need to find a better balance in life.  I'm ridiculously busy.  5.3 sunny and chilly but delightful miles.  It was the best Christmas present I could give myself
