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.

Biked around Midway trying to find new running routes.  found a potential hilly tempo run, and some single track that needs some more exploring.

Explored the Dutch Hollow trail system today.  There's lots of turn offs and loops and great views of the Heber Valley.  Plus the weather was perfect!  This will be a cool place for chill trail runs with options for some decent climbs and fast downhills.  It reminded me a lot of the Round Vally trails in Park City.  Did 2 sets of carioca, butt-kicks- high-knees, and squat jumps after run.  Avg. 8:59 per mile.

PM

Did 40 push-ups, planks, side-planks, and bird-dog.

AM  total run time 1:05:25

Ran some track this morning.  1.5 mile warm-up, then did 4 x 4 x 400 with 45 seconds between each repeat and 2:30 between each set.  Kept splits right around 88 seconds per lap, had about 5/87's and 2/89's.  Got ancy for the final lap and did that in 76.  Ran 1.75 mile cool-down with some drills mixed in.  Did 2 sets of no arms running, carioca, butt-kicks, power skips, and box jumps during my cool down.

Had some bad knee pain yesterday only when I stood up from a sitting position which really freaked me out.  Iced a little when I got home, and this morning it felt fine.  Decided to keep the pace easy and just concentrate on form.  Did some core and quad exercises after my run.  Avg. 7:22 per mile.

Ran a new section of paved trails thru a neighborhood down the street.  Lots of exploring still to do over there.  I wanted to throw in some tempo miles, but wasn't felling it, so just cruised.  I'm surprised of the pace considering how I felt.  Avg. 7:16 per mile.

Made it to Washington.  It's a little too humid, but nice to be by the ocean.
