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.

Probably gonna need another day of no running.  Lacy's family is gonna help us build some raised flower beds in our backyard which means I have to carry lots of cinder blocks and stone work around this afternoon.   Hopefully my legs don't fall off!

AM

Dinner time loop in reverse.  Felt good to get out in the morning.  My hamstrings and quads are still a bit wrecked.  A little strength after.  I don't want to go too crazy with the strengthening because I think my body's still tryin to repair the legs.

4.20, no watch

30 push-ups, light core

Dinner time loop, but almost bagged it today.  Woke up with a weird tightness in my left calf.  Gave it a good stretch, then said I'll stop and turn back if it starts to feel really bad.  It felt fine and I just kept the pace real slow.  My left hamstring tightened a bit about 3 miles in, but quads are are fine now.  Just gotta keep it chill and let the body do it's thing.

Still some soreness in theh left hammy, so decided not to run today.  Opted for a good yoga session instead.  Worked pretty much every muscle group in the legs and core, but kept the duration of each hold pretty short.  Did 30 push-ups after.

Noon

2.5 hour hike with Griffin @ Dutch Hollow.  Super scenic with all the fall colors.  Wish I had a nice camera!

 

6 PM

2 miles down State St in my underwear!  Went down for the Undie Run with Lacy and a few friends.  Ran from the Galivan Center to the State Capitol and back w/ about 2,000 other crazies.  I think I was the only avid runner in the crowd.
