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.

Went down to the river trail to get the blood flowin before my 1st leg in the Ragnar. I should be starting around 6-ish I think. Ran a mile, then a few drills with strides and a hard .25 mile before running home.

I'm on the promotional team for company again this year which means each person will run with gear that we sell on the site. My company also has 3 other teams running, but they do not run with gear, so it turns into a big competition between us and makes the Ragnar even more fun(if that's possible!)

7 PM

Leg #11 in the Ragnar. This leg was up Old Snowbasin Rd which climbs from Pineview reservoir to Snowbasin resort and since I was on the promotional team I ran it wearing a backpack with a climbing helmet and carrying trekking poles(which I did not use: )) It was tuff but so satisfying to reach the top. Plus I passed one of the other teams so now we were in 3rd out of the 4 company teams.

7.3 miles in 1:03:40. Climbed 1,800 vertical ft.

Saucony Kinvara Miles: 7.30	Saucony Tangent 4(2) Miles: 2.50
