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.

Ran the Chasing Tail 5k @ Wheeler Farm.  It has a pretty rad cross country feel to it which I like.  I was hoping for more in the 19:30 range, but I'm ok with how things went.  Felt pretty decent most the way and kept the pace pretty consistent around the 6:30 mark.  I think my mileage of around 50 per week with a few bike rides will give me enough cardio to run a good 5k time, I just need to get more comfortable running in the fatigued state these races put me in.  I think some more threshold miles should do the trick.

Lacy also ran today and beat her time last week by 4 minutes!  Really proud of her for gutting it out like that.

Road biking with Lacy for 45:00 before going to see Looper.  Two thumbs up in my book!
