Maybe I'll Blog, Maybe I Won't

I was going through websites stored in my password manager, and found FRB. My login apparently still works, so I thought: what the hell, I'll post something. It's been just a week or two over 10 years since I last posted in May of 2015. Here's a list of major life events that have gone down since then:

2016: Kid #1
2018: Kid #2, Moved back to St. George to teach school (shop/technology ed)
2019: Finished PhD
2020: Finished first 100-miler (The Bear 100)
2021: Moved back to Cache Valley to work at USU as a professor (I train shop teachers)
2023: Kid #3

I haven't done a whole lot of running since 2020, but in the past couple of years, I've taken it back up again to maintain health, sanity, and just for enjoyment. I hope to get back into training and running ultras again soon, but realistically, that probably will have to wait until after I get tenure (one more year!). I run about 3 times a week during the summer, and intersperse that with some weightlifting and cycling depending on the weather/time of year/work schedule. Today I did 5.75 miles from the Left-hand Fork cattle guard/parking area up to the overlook at the second switchback up Leetham Hollow. Time was 1:20:20, avg. HR was 143 bpm, elevation gain was 1375'.

I'm much more active on Strava, but I may circle back to FRB once in awhile to post updates as I see a few of my old friends are still active here.
