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.

Ran the Old Ranch Rd loop counterclockwise.  Wanted to do a 6 mile progressive tempo, but only made it 4.09.  My warm-up was all uphill and even 7:47 pace was feeling kind of difficult.  I almost aborted and just made it an easy run, but decided to see what I could do. Felt pretty good the first section, then bumped up the pace during the miles 3 & 4, which on this course are very hilly and this just gassed me.  Cut the tempo short and cruised for a bit.  I think I got a little cocky yesterday, and pushed too hard when I knew today would be difficult.  Oh well, live and learn!

Run:

2.32 up-hill warm-up,

4.09  in 28:14, avg. 6:54 per mile.  

3.74 cool-down

Total of 10.15 in 1:15:13, avg. 7:25 per mile.

What a beautiful day to run!  Sunny, 15 degrees, no wind, new shoes...perfect!  Out & back to US 40 via River rd. plus dinner time loop. 

These Kinvara's are awesome.  Decent cushion for a longer distance like this and I could feel the weight(or lack there of).  These are my new long run shoes for sure.

 Run:

14.11 in 1:43:58, avg. 7:22 per mile.
