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.

500E/1300S/800E and back.  I was gonna do 4 x 4 blocks(approx. 0.6 mi), but decided to bail after the first rep, my legs are just feelin beat up.  i think it's because I don't have any cush shoes.  My new Saucon Ride's should be showing up in the next few days and my legs shoould be happy again.

1 x 0.6 @ 6:00 pace, 2 x 0.3 @ 5:40 pace w/ ~2:00 recoveries.

Did a progression with Jon, then took Griffin out for half mile after.  Pretty good route (800E/800S/Foothill/2100E/2100S/900E) with a steep climb in in the first half and flat to 1.5% downhill grade on the way back. 

4.25 warm @ 8:20 pace(600 ft vert), 1.7 @ 7:10, 1.3 @ 6:35, 0.85 @ 6:10.

Ran the SLC 5k today.  I just used it as a training run, so didn't taper or anything.  FInished in 20:20 which isn't too bad considering I didn't really take it easy.  I think I'm gonna drop some of the strength training over the next few months and up the mileage/intensity of my runs.  Should result in a much better time than today.

30:00 easy on the stationary.
