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 to Dutch Hollow and did the same loop as 2 weeks ago.  The trails are still is great shape and I plan on running them until winter takes them away.  Did some strength after.

5.96 in 52:51, avg. 8:52.  Vertical gain of 896 ft.

45 push-ups and core

Out & back to Potter ln on the farm roads.  Had light snow coverage of about an inch, but wasn't slippery.  I had a nice surprise @ mile 7 when a tractor passed going the opposite direction that was plowing and grading the road!  It was nice to finish on smoothly packed dirt. : )

Cold 10 degrees today.  Legs didn't have as much pop as I'd hoped after yesterday's workout, so just cruised up 100S and around the neighborhoods.  finished around the block of Griffin's loop.  Did some push-ups and planks before heading out.

30 push-ups, planks, side-planks, bridge, & one-legged bridge,

Another 10 degree day, but high humidity made it feel a lot colder.  Was gonna shoot for 11 to 12 miles today, but can't control the weather.  Decided to do the US 189 loop instead.
