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.

Really busy before work, so no running.  Forgot I was getting my wisdom teeth taken out this afternoon which is a bummer because I'm probably not gonna run for a couple days till the swelling goes down.
