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 out for a very chill 1.95 miles.  Still feel pretty sluggish from the late Saturday night, but better than I thought I would feel. Went out for 7.13 on my own with a climb to the top of Memorial Hill, and then a 2 mile tempo down to my house.  Splits for the 2 miles were 6:15 and 6:14.  Avg. 7:05 for the 7.13 solo.

 

 I've been debating what workouts to do over the next 3 weeks, and think I'll start each week with this one.  I did this same course with the 2 mile pick up at the end about 2 months ago.  Pace was around 6:30 per mile for the last 2 miles, and today my splits were 15 seconds faster.  Good sign that I am getting stronger and more efficient...Hooray!

Some days I do not feel like getting up early for a big workout, and today was one of those days.  Got up took Griffin out for 1.96, but felt really tired and my felt a little messed up from some chick pea burgers I ate yesterday....too much fiber I think.  Was gonna do some hard 600's, but 400 in, just could not run any farther at a decent speed.  Tried again, and just wasn;'t happening, so decided to run 8 x 1:00 with 1:00 recovery around 5k pace and that seemed to feel pretty good.  I guess I just didn't want to hold that hard effort for very long.  Did 4 hills sprints and 2 sets of butt kicks, high knees, bounding, and jump squats during my cool down.  did 30 push-ups, 20 dips, some core and squats when I got home.

Woke up feeling pretty sore in my hamstrings, but wanted to get some speed in, so went for it.  Ran Griffin for 1.95, then went out for a ladder workout.  The first few sets were ok, but the mile segments just weren't happening, even though I was going kinda slow.  Not good!  I think my run on Monday basically botched my speed workouts due to extra fatigue in my legs.  Next week is back to the schedule I've been on for about the past 5 weeks with my fast repeats on Monday, and longer intervals on Wednesday.  Hopefully that will cure whatever's been goin on this week..  Did 2 sets of butt kicks, high knees, bounding, stiff leg, and jump squats during my cool down.  Then did planks, side planks, bird dog, and running pose at home after the run.

Soldier Hollow loop this morning.  Nice & cool out.  Saw Lacy & Griffin out for a walk, so ran around with Griffin for the last .20.  He's too fast for me, but he's does have 4 legs. : )  Avg. 7:13 per mile.

Ran the US 40 loop, which is 10.75 miles.  Felt kinda tired, but not too bad.  Avg. 7:16 per mile.  Then took Griffin out for 2.62 when I got home.

Now off for eggs and mimosas at my buddies house.
