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.

Took Griffin out of 2 miles, then did 8 x 45 second repeats with 2:15 recovery. Kept the pace around 5:15 for the repeats, then ran for a little afterwards. Now I'm ready to get married!

Ran Griffin for 1.93 miles.  Did my Memorial Hill loop with a tempo for the last 2 miles, splits were 6:31 & 6:33.  I felt pretty stiff, but the tempo miles felt pretty decent.  Avg. 7:17 per mile for the 7.18 solo.

Pretty chilly this morning, and had to wear gloves for the first time since last winter.  I LOVE running in this weather....crisp & cool, no wind, and blue bird skies.  

 Took Griffin out for 2.11, then did 4 x 5:00 at tempo pace with 2:30 recovery.  Avg. pace per mile for each set was 6:25, 6:33, 6:20, and 6:18.  Did these on my dinner time loop and ran down by the river for my cool-down.

Did some planks and side-planks before the run.  Griffin has been super ancy over the past few days, so decided I'd take an easy day for myself and make it a long day for him.  We just did loops thru the neighborhood by my house and after 2 poop breaks, one water stop at a sprinkler, and pissing about 30 times made it over a 10k in just under 8:00 per mile avg.  Go Griffin!

Did my long run at Round Valley and ended up climbing 1,300 feet.  Perfect weather for a long rail run.
