Training: 60 minutes
Day Mileage: 8.5 miles

Details: Ran at 6:30 this morning before class, which started at 9 and went until 5 and I would rather run beforehand than afterwards!!! I don't have much time at the moment because I have so much going on, which is kind of holding my mileage back… Prioritize Josi, prioritize!!!
