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.

A little quad pain and very tight calves.  I've got some arch pain in my left foot as well, but I'm not too worried.  Should be able to run 4 or so tomorrow to start shaking things out.

Feelin better today.  Took it really easy out to US 189 & back.  My calves, quads and the arch in my left foot felt pretty sore about an hour afterwards, but it's a good sore, no acute pain.

Run:

6 easy, no watch.

Griffin loop and Dutch Field loop.  Quads feel a little sore still on downhill sections, but no worries.  My right big toe has a huge bruise under the nail which is giving me some discomfort.  Someone told me I could have it drained at the doc's office, so may jump on that if it gets any worse over the weekend.

Ran a new loop today.  Went to US 40 via 100S, then to US 189 and down to 1200S(this was a 3 mile winding country road.  Quite nice in the morning).   Turned right on 113 then over to Soldier Hollow and down 100S.  Pretty cool loop and nice to mix things up.  My quads were feelin it on the hills for the last 30 minutes, but everything else felt fine.

Run:

12.77 in 1:35:53, avg. 7:30 per mile
