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.

NOON

Anyone watch the NYC half today?  What a race!  I've been watching some Mo Farah footage lately and that guy makes me want to run.  Seeing him and Geb sprint to the finish was an awesome sight.  I think Kara is back in action as well.  Great to see her run so strong!

Anyway, ran to US 40 out & back via River Rd.  Legs felt stiff and breathing a little labored, but was moving at a decent clip thru the hills.  Picked it up towards the end to get things moving.  Did some drills and strength after.

Run:

8.02 cruisin,

then 1.57 in 10:34, avg. 6:43 per mile

Total of 9.59 in 1:09:44, avg. 7:16 per mile

Drills:

2 sets of speed skater and ski hop

Strength:

30 push-ups and core


Saucony Tangent Miles: 9.59

I forgot all about the NYC Half!! Sheesh...now I've got some research to do. Pretty good race, eh?

Good start to the week. Keep it up!

Yeah, it was pretty good. I would have liked to see Hall and Meb in it more, but I guess they're saving it for Boston.
