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.

Took Griffin on his loop, then home to change into my racing shoes for 5 x .50 on the 100S trail.  Went home after to change back into my gides for a cool down. 

Things went pretty well.  I was a little more fatigued than I would have liked to have been, but I think that may have been from sitting at work all day.
