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.

Walkin around town with Lacy and Griffin.  Made a stop by the ice cream parlor...it was tasty.

100S to 600W to the farm roads for 8 x :30 second fartlek style repeats.  Then tacked on another 5 thru the neighborhood.  My pacing was kinda slow for the repeats, but I think it may have been to running on loose dirt.  Also the first few were the slowest and pace gradually got faster.  Overall a really beautiful morning.

10.04 w/ 8 x :30 fartlek @ 5:50 to 5:20 pacing.  Total run time was 1:15:36, avg. 7:31 per mile.

Yesterday I was feeling like I should run some hills today, then last night I decided I would run a hard effort, but not quite tempo...just a steady pace.  I ran my Wasatch State Park loop today and am super stoked with the pace I was able to hold.  I had to tack on a few small loops at the end so my run time would be at least an hour.  Gotta love days like today!

8.89 in 1:00:53, avg. 6:51 per mile.

 

1PM

I had some serious work done at the dentist yesterday afternoon(deep cleaning and wisdom tooth pulled), so zero running or strength today. I still feel kinda loopy I think from all the novacaine they shot me up with.  Plus I don't want to test my immune system too much.

Back on the wagon and it feels oh so good.  Ran 6 x :30 hill repeats at Memorial Hill.  I was planning on 8 to 10 reps, but my legs were feelin it and I didn't want to push super hard so my body can still concentrate on healing the hole in my mouth.  Ran my last 2 miles with Griffin in my new Tangents to keep breakin them in.

1.05 to Memorial hill,

1 set of XC ski, ski hop, speed skater, carioca, butt- kicks, and power skips,

6 x :30 hill reps @ 5:00 to 5:10 pace w/ 2:30 walking rest,

5.25 thru the neighborhood,

2 with Griffin on his loop.

AM 

US 40 loop counterclockwise, but turned down 600W and ran the farm roads to 40 just to keep it a little more flat after charging uphill yesterday.  Tacked on the dinner time loop with a mile extension thru the neighborhood.  Legs felt really sluggish from the beginning which was expected.  Overall a good run.
