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.

Ran Griffin for 1.61.  Felt really sluggish, maybe too much sun yesterday?  Wanted to do a cut-down run of 2 x1 mile, then some 800's and 400's, but after the second mile just didn;t have the strength or motivation, so turned it in to a really easy paced run.  Did the 2 x 1 miles in 6:12 & 6:13 with a 3 minute rest in the middle.  Gonna do a very easy pace tomorrow as well.

Took Griffin for 2.5 miles.  He was super excited this morning, so we went a little farther than usual.  Went back out for 3.51 miles, avg. 7:18 per mile.

Did some planks, side-planks, bird-dog, and some core before heading out.  I'm gonna cut down on the strength training over the next 2 weeks in an attempt to freshen up the legs before the 10k on 7/31.

Ran sort of a fartlek today.  Starting at 3.6 miles did 4 x 1:00 minute hard with 1:00 minute rest.  I did a hard interval pace for the first 50 seconds, then tried to push all out for the last 10 seconds.  It was fun and got the legs moving.  Avg. 7:21 per mile.

PM

Wanted to bike after work, but the rain was off and on, so did a great 25 minute workout at home.  I jogged in place for about 7 minutes with some high-knees thrown in, then did a bunch of plyometrics and upper body followed by some core.  I was sweatin by the end.

Did some core then took Griffin for his "long run".  He was thirsty by the end, but help up great...with the exception of about 20 bathroom breaks.

Felt really sore today, but once I stretched a little and got moving I felt very relaxed and strong.  I think this is form my PM workout on Wednesday.  Took Griffin out for 1.71 warm-up, then did 7.41 miles solo avg. 7:18 per mile.

No coffee this morning...AAHHH!  Ran 2.38 to the store with Griffin to get some.  Made some brew when i got home and did some planks, side-planks, and light core exercises before heading to Round Valley.  Ran 6.53 at Round Valley, mainly staying on the nordic trails, but jumped on some singletrack just for fun.  I was feeling pretty good and the terrain I was on is similar to the race next weekend, plus I was in the shoes I'm gonna race in, so decided to do a hilly tempo mile.  Did 1.02 in 6:25 (6:18 pace) and was very suprised how easy it felt.  Gotta love days like this!  Avg. 7:24 per mile.
