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.

Really chill with Griffin...quads are feelin the downhill from yesterday so kept todays route flat.  700E/3300S/500E and back.  Crocs were not the best footwear choice, but I melted my Montrail's around the campfire last weekend(oops!) so gotta get a new pair of heavies.  Probably go with Saucony Ride's or maybe some Puma's?  Any ideas on regular training shoes are welcome.
