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.

Good stretch then did 4x15 wide push-ups & 4x5 neutral pull-ups.  

Stiffness is pretty much gone now so tomorrow we run!

AM

Went out the back of my complex and then up 100S around the dinner time loop & out to 189 before heading back.  Took it nice & easy.  My ankle had a dull pain the first few steps, but overall is a huge improvement over last week.  Gonna keep up with the slow pace and lots of stretching.

Hot & dusty @ Dutch Hollow.  Wanted to go for an hour, but the started to get to me so cut it short.  My ankle felt great the whole time, but a little sore after.  Gave it some more ice love.

Chiller out & back on the farm roads and around the complex.  Ankle kinda hurtin the beginning but felt fine once I hit the dirt roads.  Afterward did some core, 2x15 good mornings, squats & lunge variations, then 45 narrow push-ups.

Legs were feelin it today, so chilled out.  My new shoes are a bit stiff, but the added pronation control is nice and they're super light.  Out the back of the complex then up 100S to 40 to 189 & back.
