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.

Holy tricep soreness! Yesterday was my first time bouldering and I think I have to work on my technique a bit.

4PM

50:00 of road biking.  Kept it pretty relaxed.

Still pretty beat up today, so took it slow.  100S to 600W to the farm roads and River trail.  Then went to Park City for some July 4th celebrating!  Happy 4th!

Pretty tired today from all the action yesterday.  I've got some weird pain in my right hip, I think it's IT band stuff, so keepin the pace relaxed and the terrain pretty flat.  Ran up 100S to 350 W to the Dutch field loop and finished in the neighborhood by my house.

8.23 in 1:01:23 , avg. 7:25 per mile.

 

PM

Did an out & back on the farm roads with Griffin, and a little strength after.

3.84 in 31:21, avg. 8:10 per mile.

30 push-ups, planks, side-planks, bird-dog, hydrant

Man it's getting warm in the morning...65 @ 7:00AM!  This is about 20 degrees warmer than last week.  Anyway, I ran 100S to 40 to 600N, then thru the neighborhood and back up 600S to 40 to 1000S and finished on 100S.  Did .50 mile pick-up the first time I hit 40.  My legs did not want to move that fast, but they're my legs and I made them do it.

  8.52 w/ .50 in 2:56 (5:54 pace).  Total time was 1:03:03, avg. 7:23 per mile.

 

PM

30 push-ups, core, 2 x 10 standing good morning, forward & reverse lunges, hindu squats, warrior III.

Ran to Memorial Hill for some drills, then around the hood and finished on the Dutch Fields loop. Took Griffin down to the Farm roads and back when I was done, which was about 2 miles.  Feelin pretty wiped, which I think is from the heat.  I just need some time to adjust.  I also just did one set of drills instead of 2 because of the hip pain I experienced earlier this week.  It feels almost totally fine now, but no point in pushing and screwin myself up.

  1.05 to Memorial Hill,

 1 set of XC skier, ski hop, speed skater, butt-kicks, high-knees, and carioca w/ a stride between each set,

5.02 chiller,

2 with Griffin.

I've been feelin pretty crappy in general lately so wanted to keep today short & slow.  About 30 minutes in I started feeling a lot better so decided to make it a full hour run, and was pretty surprised I averaged a 7:30 pace considering my effort level felt very low.  Ran the Dutch Field loop with some extra thru the neighborhood.

8.09 in 1:00:49, avg. 7:30 per mile.

 

PM

Pretty decent bike ride in the mountains with a buddy.  We rode Deer Crest to Mid-Mountain, but had to turn back at Empire Pass because it was getting dark.  Took Tour de Suds down to Swede Alley. 

14.10 miles in 1:40:00.  2,145 vertical gain.

Glad I'm takin tomorrow off.  My legs have felt heavy all week!  I'm pretty stoked on the overall pace today since I was just keepin a nice easy rhythm.  Ran 100S to 40 to 189 to Soldier Hollow then an out & back to the rodeo grounds on 100S.
