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.
Today had a good workout. Did 4x1.5 down the canyon with a target pace of 4:48 per mile - (so 7:12 per interval). I was able to hit the target pace (7:06, 7:08, 7:10, and 7:03 closing in 2:15 for the last half mile). Total of 6 miles at 4:48 pace.
