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.

45 push-ups and core.  Learned about body curls yesterday....they're hard.

Gonna be one of our last really nice days for a little bit, so decided to run during lunch.  Willow Creek trail is covered in snow, so took the Millenium trail up to Willow Creek park and did some drills, then back to the office.  Achillies is feeling a little better, just tryin not to push too hard.

  3 up,

1 set of XC skier, ski hop, speed skater, butt-kicks, high-knee skipping, carioca, & bounding w/ a stride between each,

3 down.

A run before the storm.  It's supposed to dump about a foot of snow starting this evening and was already pretty windy in the morning, but the colorful sunrise made up for the headwinds.  Took 100S up thru the neighborhoods to 1000S, down 40 to 500N and back to 100S.  Achilles is felt fine the whole way.  YAY!

7.36 in 55:11, avg. 7:29 per mile.
