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 on his loop, then went to the gym for some fast 400m on the track.  It's getting too cold to run in shorts, so to the gym it is.  Felt pretty decent, but I was definitely pushing the pace.

Small workout, then ran the dinner time loop with neighborhood extension and a little more when I got back.  My legs still feel like garbage.  I may take tomorrow off from running if they still feel like this.

Watched the finish of the St George marathon on line.  There were some fast finishes, congrats to everyone who ran!
