Trying to improve my running

ran the radiotower hill was only able to go just a bit further than last time. no more than about 100 feet though. I was able to run 100 miles this month. I ran 6 days/week for almost every week this month as well. I only missed 2 days. My goal for the next month is not to get so many miles but instead to focus on vertical feet. In April I was able to run 8800 feet. In March I was able to run 11,692 feet, a good portion of that (1700 feet) was in Utah in 1 day up to flag rock. I am going to go for 13,000 feet this month. I think I will be running this route a bunch it is short and a good amount of vert. 

Ran the local Saquaro loop today except I ran up the smaller hills a couple of times each to add a little more vert. my watch died towards the end so I think it is about 4 miles fortunately I was done with the vertical gain before it died.

Ran radiotower hill again I was able to go about 55 feet further up the hill than prior and felt pretty good. I think I should be able to get all the way up this hill in the next couple of weeks. I think then I will start doing multiple loops up the hill.

Ran radiotower hill again. a little further up the hill than last time I also was able to go further up on the second lap then prior. I felt pretty good about the run despite not sleeping well last night.

Ran the Sombrero Saddle trail again today. I woke up early so I decided to tack on an extra jaunt up the side of sombrero peak. I was a good bit faster, to the saddle, this time from last (8:43, previous 9:15 for 0.5 miles). It felt really pretty good. The extra jaunt added an additional 342 feet over 0.29 miles for grade of 22%. I won't lie I ended up walking most of that. It felt really steep. Hard coming down as well I almost feel like I have to go slower coming down then going up to avoid falling. The hill has a lot of loose gravel.
