Overall I am pleased with April. My runs with "new" people have made me push....one gal in speed and another in distance. I managed to do a 12 mile run --probably the longest run I have done by FAR in about 8 years!
I focused a lot on doing my stretches for the split program. While not successful, it was a good exercise and I'm going to switch back to my Stretch Therapy program with a focus on hip flexors, etc.
