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.

Did an out & back to Wasatch State Park, but turned right on the hil instead of running by the visitor center so I could get more hills in.  Turned around at the fork in the road going up to Guardsmans pass.  Didn't wear a watch, so not sure of total vertical, but it was pretty hilly.  Did 30 pull ups after.

100S to 2400 W via a winding country road and back past Soldier Hollow.  Turned into sort of a death march at the end, guess I should have cut it a little shorter, oh well.  Persistence and perseverance right?: )

Thought I'd feel good today, but my energy level is gone.  I think a lot has to do with lots of leg exercises on Friday, then good climbs on Monday and today my body just didn't want it.  Had to get a trail run in before it rains over the next few days.
