Felt surprisingly great for a Monday morning.  Until the last 30 seconds of my run when I caught a curb with my toe and crashed. My phone went flying into the street, bouncing twice before stopping.  Surprisingly, it’s completely in tact.  I now highly recommend Otterbox phone cases.  My elbow looks like hamburger.  But, at least my phone is fine. 

My goal for April is to top 200 miles for the month. Still working on consistency.  Last few weeks have been an improvement.

Early morning track workout with Rebecca and Tee. They are in taper for Boston, so they were ready to hammer this morning!  I am still trying to improve my fitness, so I am not as fast as they are right now.  

Three mile warm up then 3 x 1 mile with 400 m recovery in between.  I hit 5:55, 5:50, and 5:48.  I will take it. 2.5 cool down.

A little bit groggy and unmotivated this morning. But, I got it in. 7:05 average.

Had an early morning rehearsal, followed by a dance clinic, and then session 1 of General Conference. I snuck in a ten mile run between sessions. I ran 10 x 2 minutes on/off in the middle of my workout.  6:30 average.  Fast longish run today. 

Signed up for SL Half.  But, most likely I will be at a rehearsal.
