Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out.  Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

AM  1:20..and some change

I was going to run easy today, but a storm is forecasted for tonight thru tomorrow, and it seems like each day I wanted to do a long run last month it snowed just enough to make it unenjoyable.  So I took advantage of the calm weather today and did my rest week long run today.  I felt really good this morning, so this wasn't a bad choice at all. 

 I ran for 2.36 miles up and down a frontage road by my house, then did 4 laps of 1.74 miles each thru the neighborhood across from my house.  These are pretty sweet loops, and I'm thinking of doing some tempo work on them.  The first 1/3 is slight downhill to flat, then the second 1/3 is flat and slight uphill right at the end, before turning onto the last 1/3 which is a gradual uphill back to the start.  I then ran 1.36 miles back to my house.  This was a great run because I felt a little fatigued starting out until about mile 4, then I got into a nice rythm, and by mile 10.4 felt like I could easily do another mile or so, but duty calls, and play time was over.  Avg. 7:30 per mile.
