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.

AM 

Did an out & back on the mid-mtn trail from Silver lake just past the Payday lift.  My glutes were kinda sore from yesterday, so climbing was a chore.  I also forgot my Garmin, but got the mileage off a trail map.  Not sure of elevation gain, probably about 800?  I'm gonna go with that.  Beautiful morning to be up in the mountains.

10 with 800 ft vertical gain

Ran a steady effort out to 189 & back that was borderline low threshold.  Felt pretty good, just a little stiff in the legs.

Did some hill sprints @ Memorial hill.  I wore my tights because of the cold temps which are not ideal for running fast.  My Kinvara's were a little slippery too.  Gonna have to do these in my Mirage's again next time.

Chiller on the farm roads.   I tried the much talked about chia seeds today, and didn't really notice a huge difference.  Towards the end I was feeling a little poppy, but I'm not going to accredit that to the chia yet.

Solid workout today.  Ran out to 189, then came back down 1200N to 113 & back home.  Did a decent interval session and some fast on /offs after.  Legs felt a little heavy, but I think that was mainly because I was wearing tights again....it was 34 degrees!

2.65 warm,

5 x 4:00 @ 6:10 - 6:25 pace w/ 2:00 slow jog,

10PM

Decided to have dinner with Lacy and watch a movie before going for a little ride.  I don't have to wake up early tomorrow so why not! :)  Went up around the train station and neighborhood before stopping at the grocery store and heading home.

AM

Ran up 100S out to Wasatch visitor center and back.  My HR was a littel higher than it has been lately which I'm attributing mainly to yesterday's run and late bike ride and my route today had lots of gradual climbing.
