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.

Most of the snow on the country roads has melted making it runnable, but a total muddy mess.  It's good to get sloppy once in awhile.  I have been doing planks and other strength stuf on Sunday's as well, but I felt pretty crappy after, so chilled the rest of the day.

20 degrees and snow are not good race conditions.  Just hung out instead.  Think I'm gonna switch things up and start running Sun-Fri with alternating runs every other week.
