Played racquetball and lifted a bit, then I ran up the canyon while my Dad biked. I miss doing this kind of stuff. My throat felt torn up the next day, I don't miss the air quality in Utah.

We might move back here before we have kid number 2, it's really fun to be around family and makes parenting easier. Utah is also really pretty and has lots of cool stuff. House prices, air quality, and a potentially imminent water crisis are tough to get past. I'm beginning to land more closely towards an attitude of: If Utah is doomed we should at least enjoy the last 10-20 years before it potentially becomes unlivable, and hopefully we'll figure out ways around the environmental issues.

Ran up the canyon while my Dad biked, felt better than last time. Wish we could work out together more often. When I get back to Ohio I've got to get a few good training weeks in so that I can have a decent race at the half marathon, I think 1:23 is a good goal but I think I'll start the first mile at 6:40s/6:50s and work down.
