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.

Did a modified workout Ryan Hall did a few weeks before he ran Boston.  I ran to Potter ln for a warm-up, then did 1 x 2 mile, 1.5 mile, 1 mile, .75, .50, & .25 with recovery being the same distance as the interval and ran at easy run pace.  I kept the pace around 6:15 for the intervals, which felt really comfortable, and 7:30 to 7:45 for the recovery.  I did these as a bunch of out & backs to Potter ln to keep it all on the loose dirt and gravel surface of the farm roads.  Hopefully this will make the pavement during the marathon feel super smooth and responsive.  Ran back home from Potter ln as a cool-down.  Kind of a weird work-out, but I liked it.

4.24 warm-up,

2 miles in 12:35 (6:17 pace),

1.5 in 9:27 (6:18 pace),

1 mile in 6:13,

.75 in 4:40, (6:14 pace)

.50 in 3:06 (6:12 pace),

.25 in 1:31 (6:04 pace),

Total of 12.15 miles for the workout in 1:24:59, avg. 6:59 per mile

4.28 cool-down

Thanks guys, I'm pretty stoked how easy the pace felt today. Gonna taper down a bit and do a few more workouts before it's time to get it on!
