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.

Lots of rubbing and stretching.  Took Griffin to the farm roads and ran around part of my loop.  Usually this is 3 miles exact, but had to go back and get Griffin's poop bag.

My ankle felt pretty much fine the entire time, hooray!

3.1, no watch

 

PM

45 push ups, planks, side planks, bird dog, bridge, chair, boat & hydrant

Rubbing & stretching and felt pretty much fine again.  My ankle is still a little stiff starting out which causes some pain, but went away about 20:00 in.  In fact I felt so good, I threw in some strides and picked up the pace for the last .50 miles.  I'm gonna have to thank the masseuse!  Ran up 100S to the farm roads and did the OE extension, then back on my normal loop.

7.8 w/4 strides in 1:02:40

Out & back @ Glenwild on the 24/7 trail.  Such a good morning to run!  The trail is a little rocky, but not too bad.  Did 32:00 out and then 27:40 back, needless to say it climbs a lot more going out.

7.1 in 59:40.  860 vertical feet.

Farm roads to River Rd, then up by Wasatch State visitor center and back via River Rd.  Felt pretty crappy most the time and it was hot out.
