April 2022. Less mileage than March, with a zero-run week mid-month. I finally got outside for a run on the 30th, and have heightened optimism about my training through the rest of Spring and into Summer. Last year, 2021 was my first without running the Marathon distance (26.2 miles/42.2K) since my first year of serious running, 2015. My farthest distance was 20 miles, which speaks of all of the physical pain I was dealing with on the run. Will I run 26.2 this year? Maybe. It all depends on how my fitness rebuilds. #throwback to April 2021, I was holding steady at 125.4 miles for the month, with over 6,000 feet of total climbing. I spent a lot of time in the back hills of Van Cortlandt, my favorite place to be, climbing the hills. #returntorunning #strava #garmin #altrarunning #xeroshoes https://www.instagram.com/p/CdPAHErrYqN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
