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 a light dusting of snow, so not slippery, just a cool environment to be in. Cardio felt crappy so took it easy.  Took the farm roads to Potter ln and back.  Did some strength after.

My first run this season in single digits.  Not too bad, but I wasn't out for very ling either.  Too 100S up thru the neighborhoods, then down 40 to 100S and home.

Another balmy 9 degree morning.  I warmed up inside with some planks, then up 100S, around the block and back, then took Griffin on his loop.  Nice morning actually, now for some hot tea...about 3 glasses.

Planks, side-planks, and bridge,

Gave into the temps this morning, 3 degrees and 90% humidity can be pretty gnarly.  Went to the gym and did a cruiser ladder workout on the track and kept the rest periods pretty quick. It was good to get some turnover and I ran ended up running 56 circles.  Worked the legs a little after.

2 warm,

200m, 400m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 400m, 200m w/ 200m run between each except before and after the 800m I ran 400m rest.  No splits, just running a hard effort,

2 cool

2 x 16 forward & reverse lunges and squats

Legs are kinda sore today, must've been all the squatting and lunging.  Work is also super busy, so not a whole bunch of time in the morning.  Did some planking, then out with Griffin.

30 push-ups, planks, side-planks, bridge
