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.

2 mi warm up with Griffin on the trails.  Then out to the roundabout for 6 x :75 second reps w/ 3:00 walk after, 1 mi cool down.  Wore my Garmin today to see splits which were 5:50, 5:40, 5:30 for the last 4.  I felt a little sluggish starting out today, so i'm ok with the 5:30 pace, but would like these to be in the 5:15-ish range when i feel better.  Will start wearing my Garmin more on these workouts to get pacing feedback while effort is still determined by feel. 

Pm 4 x 10 shoulder press/bent over row/ front squat/curl extension

Took Griffin on the trails for warm up.  then did 2 x 3:00 w/ 2:00 jog and 4 x :75 w/ 3:00 walk.  the 3:00 sections were 6:00 pace and I felt pretty crappy.  I htink I need more stamina building runs before I go for longer intervals.  :75 second sections were 5:40 pace and felt pretty relaxed.  Probably could've pushed harder.

Road out to the lumber yard/Rail Trail/ top of Royal St and back via 224.  A little windy, but felt good on the climb up Royal and was super fun coming down.
