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 100S over to 1200 S and back via 113.  My legs felt a little dead, but I was determined to get some faster running in.  Felt good once I got goin.

2.2 warm,

1 x 5:00 @ 6:19 pace, 5:00 easy run, 6 x :30 @ 5:30 - 5:45 pace w/ 1:00 easy run,

4 cool.

Today's my anniversary so Lacy & I went hiking on Timpanogos w/ Griffin.  Beautiful scenery and had a good time hanging out @ the falls.  We went quite a bit further up, but Griffin's paws weren't diggin the hot trail so we aborted our original plan of making it to Emerald lake.  another day I guess.  counting this as 2 easy miles.

90 push-ups(wide & narrow) & a decent core session.  I feel like crap!  I think I didn't hydrate after being in the sun for so long.  Gonna chill out the rest of the day.

I'm gonna change up my schedule, so ran short today.  Did some core before heading out to 189 & back.  Felt really good and picked up the pace for the last 2 miles.  Did some push-ups when I got home and went into some lunges, then the muscle behind my adductors freaked out!  I was pretty worried at first, but rubbed it down and iced, now it feels ok.  gonna have to be careful of that!

core,

6.4, no watch, 30 push-ups
