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.

Pretty solid workout this morning.  Ran to 189 for a warm-up, did some drills, then 8 x 800m on the way back to the house.  I wanted to keep the pace a little slower than last Wednesday since I was doubling the number of reps and still feelin Saturday just a bit.  Kept the pace around the 5:40 range and it felt decently comfortable, so I'm stoked on that.: )

3 mile warm-up,

1 set of butt-kicks, high-knee skipping, carioca, w/ a stride between each.

8  x 800m w/ 2:30 jog rest.  Splits were: 2:50, 2:49, 2:49, 2:49, 2:51, 2:50, 2:52(lazy start, picked it up at .25), 2:46,

1.79 cool-down

Total of 11.08 miles

Ran from my office to Glenwild and did the frontside loop.  It's only a 6-mile loop, but climbs about 900 feet in the first 3 miles with some rocks to maneuver and then has some good switchbacks comin down.  My legs feel pretty beat now, so gotta start takin it easy before next weekend.

Felt kinda stiff today, so took it easy.  Nothin to prove a week out from a marathon.  Ran 100S to the farm roads and out to US 40, turned around at River Rd and back to 1000S, then thru the hood and back to 100S, finished on the river trail.

14.30 in 1:48:07, avg. 7:33 per mile.
