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  7.84 in 59:03  Avg. 7:31 per mile

 Had to wait for it to wamr up a little today.  It was still single digits by the time I headed out, but it's a beautiful bluebird day.  Ran a lopp that took me thur Wasatch State Park.  Some of the roads are pretty slushy and difficult to run on but the scenery made up for that.  Did 3 x 8 pull-ups after my run.

Griffin is finally over whatever stomach issue he was having so took him out for 2.  Then went up around Wasatch state park.  Still a lot of slushy spots on the road.

AM  2 with Griffin, no watch.  6.58 solo in 48:04, avg. 7:18 per mile.

Pretty cold again today, but that's no surprise.  We're in coldest/darkest part of the year, so it's downhill from here right? 

 Did a mini tempo of 2.23 miles at the end of my run.  Splits were 6:41(hilly), 6:30(slight downhill), .23 in 1:24(6:13 pace).

AM  

 Got some boots from Ruffwear for Griffin to keep ice chunks from forming on his paws.  He doesn't seem to mind them, so they'll be really good for long hikes thru deeper snow.  Today was just a trial run thru the hood.  

Run:

3.91 miles with Griffin very slowly.

Strength:

30 push-ups, planks, side-planks, chair and warrior III pose.
