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 riding for 2.5 hours and did 2 hikes into the backcountry.  Conditions were a lot better than I thought they would be.

 The weather decided to cooperate and not snow last night, so I was able to go for a longer run today.  Still pretty sore from Sunday, but not too bad.  Went out with Griffin, and then did an out & back to US 40 via river Rd.  It was a beautiful morning.

Run:

2 miles with Griffin no watch.

10 miles solo in 1:16:42, avg. 7:40 per mile.

It's a winter wonderland in Midway, UT again!  We got about 6 inches of pretty heavy snow last night and it was snowing during my run, so had to bust out the trail runners for some grip.  Just cruised and listened to the falling snow.  Did a little strength after my run.

2 snowy miles with Griffin, no watch

4.2 snowy miles solo, no watch.  Avg. HR was 147

Strength:

30 push-ups, planks, side-planks, bird-dog, and chair pose
