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.

Well looks like after year of morning runs, I may become an afternoon/evening runner.  Schedule with Lacy and Frederick is alittel crazy, so for now, that's what it's gonna be.  We may even by a treadmill which I'm not super pumped on, but would be very convenient.

Neighborhood trails wiht 8 strides thruout

No time to run so did a workout at home during which I dropped a weight on my big toe.  Bruised up good and really hurts so probably no running for at least a week. Boo!

I was hesitant to plan a ride this big with my toe being messed, but it felt fine.  Running may still be out for a bit.  Road ride on the Kamas loop...legs felt great climbing after a week off
