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.

Fun time on the town last night!  Perfect day to rest, do some laundry, and eat some fried chicken.

 Took Griffin on his morning loop, and then went out on the dinner time loop.  My legs are still feelin Saturdays workout, so may be another day before I can do some faster running.

Planks, side planks, and core

Super stiff, probably should have stretched first.  Tomorrow will be sort of a big workout before the 5k this weekend.  Avg. 7:22 per mile.

Went out for a cut-down run on the Willow Creek trail.  Felt pretty sloppy and tired, so didn't go super hard and did .50 for the first interval instead of making it a mile.  Ended up with:

 2 x .50 with 2:00 recovery Splits were 3:05 & 3:03

2 x .25 with 1:00 recovery Splits were 86 & 85

Super busy and feeling lazy.  Don't think not running today will affect tomorrow too much.

Ran a 5k at Wheelr Farm today.  I really didn't feel like racing after how this week has been.  Hopefully I'll feel better after daylight savings kicks in, but no real race plans until the SLC half next April, so gonna do some good cross training over the next few months and get some snowboard time in...YAY!

Splits for the race were 6:08, 6:30, 6:46, and :31 for the last .10 (5:00 pace).  Like I said I was pretty unmotivated and it showed later in the race, but coming up to about .25 to go a guy I had passed in the first mile had caught me and I couldn't give up without a fight.  We bothed turned it on to the end and I was able to out kick him for the last 100 meters.  Pretty unsuccessful race as far as overall performance goes, but was glad I could turn it on at the end.  I shook the guy's hand at the finish line.
