April went by so quickly. I joined a gym {with a free pass for three months} at the beginning of the month and thankfully I have a workout partner {my sis-in-law} so we meet there usually three days a week for a boot camp style strength session. I try to go about an hour early and workout on the elliptical and/or stationary bike before she gets there. I’m really enjoying cross training. My running is going really well too. I hope to be able to run for a full 30 minutes in the next few weeks. I plan to finish up my “return to running” interval running then start building a solid running base before half marathon & full marathon training starts in the summer. And I definitely plan to continue to cross train!
