Personal:
I have five brothers and five sisters,
all younger. I'm currently a PhD Student in the CSEM (computational science) program at UT Austin. Married, no kids (yet). I've been dealing with some issues in running the last few years, and am trying to get back into top shape.
Tried a 4x1 mile workout. Having some tension issues - could only do 4:52 for the first one, then got 4:47 and 4:44. The last one was finally decent (4:38).
Today did a 6 mile tempo in the Provo River Canyon. Had some knee problems, and the first two miles were 5:16 and 5:02. Was able to average 5:00 for the last 4 miles. Ended up with 30:18 overall.
