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 did 2x4 down the canyon - 9:57, 9:56, 9:54 and 9:58. There was a bit of headwind. This was the first time I've done this workout in a while - I'm glad I was able to go under 5:00 pace for all of the intervals.
Did a 3 mile tempo down the canyon in 15:25 (5:05, 5:17, and 5:03). The cold got to me, and I ended up not doing a second interval as planned. Jacob got a PR of 15:28 - he was with me until about 800m to go.
