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.

HAd to head to the warehouse for work, so was out the door @ 5:45.  Early & dark..boo!  My left hip/glute felt pretty tight, so took the warm-up and cool-down real slow.  Kept the repeats a little relaxed as well.  Ran 100S to the farm roads for the repeats.

Cold & rainy this morning with snow above 7,000 feet.  That's right....SNOW!  I'm excited to break out the board, but would have liked a little more summer.  Guess I'll have to adjust my plans for a trail run tomorrow cuz that ain't gonna happen.

 Out & back on River Rd up to the the fork by Wasatch State Park.  Legs felt poppy.  A little strength after.

30 push-ups, core, & 2 x 7 standing good mornings, squats, forward & reverse lunges.

AM

A long-ish easy, but not-so-easy run.  I wanted to run some hills today and wasn't able to do it on trail, so ran an out & back from my work around old ranch road and up to The Canyons stop light.  This had some good hills and a 2.5 mile climb the gradually gets steeper until the turn around.  Good workout on a crisp morning.

12.70 in 1:33:47, avg. 7:23 per mile.  918 feet vertical gain
