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.
Did 3x2 miles in the canyon (2 down, 1 up). Got 9:50, 11:14, and 9:30. Given the last split, I probably was asleep on the uphill interval. I'm going to start doing more uphill intervals.
There was a decent bit of snow, so I did a nonstandard workout - 6 miles on an out-and-back course that started at my house. This course has a fair bit of hills and a couple street crossings. There also was a fair bit of snow on the road. Ended up with 32:35 (16:46 out and 15:49 back). Total of 16.
