R2R2R @ the Grand Canyon with a group of friends - 16 hours(2014) Short-Term Running Goals: Get back in decent running form. Maybe enter a road race in 2017? Long-Term Running Goals: Run a 5k under 18:00 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| 10 AM got in a workout after watching the NYC marathon. Was great to see Meb hang tuff and run sub 2:10 and see Keitany run solo for 20+ miles of the race. That was a balsy move on her part. I was cheering for Geb, but Mutai is ultimately the man this year. 1:00:00 on the stationary bike, avg. HR was 123, 45 push-ups and some core

| AM A run before the storm. It's supposed to dump about a foot of snow starting this evening and was already pretty windy in the morning, but the colorful sunrise made up for the headwinds. Took 100S up thru the neighborhoods to 1000S, down 40 to 500N and back to 100S. Achilles is felt fine the whole way. YAY! 7.36 in 55:11, avg. 7:29 per mile.
