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.

Oh my cold!!  Headed out with Griffin and it didn't seem to bad.  then about 40 minutes into my solo run I was just beyond frozen.  Unfortunately there was no short cut back to my house and I had to suffer it out till I got home.  Think I got some frost nip on my nose.  No good!  

 Run:

2 miles with Griffin, no watch.

8.10 freezing miles solo in 1:01:56, avg. 7:39 per mile.

Took Griffin on his loop, then went back out.  I was gonna do 8 solo, but about 2 miles in it started to get pretty cold.  My face can't take much more abuse after Monday's insanely cold temps so I decided to pick up the pace and cut the run short.  Didn't get any splits, but it was a nice, comfortably hard effort.  Did some strength after my run.

 Run:

2 miles with Griffin, no watch

6.04 solo in 43:14 with the last 4 at a brisk pace.  Avg. 7:09 per mile.

Strength:

24 pull-ups and some core
