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.

Awesome run on my way to work this morning!  Had Lacy drop me off at Quinn's Junction and ran to the Round Valley trailhead.  Took a bunch of single track to Old Rand Rd. for a few more hills before hitting the frontage road and going to work. I forgot my Garmin, but had a regular watch, and it took me about 1:20, so I'm gonna say 9.5 miles given all the hills and technical terrain.  I'm also gonna say it was about 900 feet of climbing, but I guess I'll have to do this run again with my GPS next time.  Darn!

Lacy dropped me off @ Quinn's junction and I took the Rail Trail up to 224, then down to work via the Willow Creek trails and did a loop around the park.  Kept it chill and was on dirt trails most of the time.  A bit windy towards the end, but overall a nice cruiser.

Lacy was on a team for the Park City Running with Ed relay today, and the plan was to hang out with her for her 2 legs of the course, which was about 6 miles total.  She hasn't been running very much, so i thought this would be fun to run with her, hang out in the sun(it was a perfect day) and cheer on the rest of her team.  Turns out no one really "trained" for this and by the time people had to run their second legs of the relay, they were kinda cashed.  Everyone knew I was there to run with Lacy and started asking me to run with them too.  So my original plan of 6 miles turned into almost 22 after all was said and done.  We probably averaged  about 10 min/mile and that was cool with me.  It was inspiring to see them push themselves and I was stoked I could help out.

Got in some trails at Dutch Hollow before the rain hit.  Wanted to go farther, but had to get to work.  My hamstrings are still pretty sore so didn't hit any big continuous climbs, but the course was pretty hilly.  980 ft vertical.
