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.

3 AM

legs 19 & 20 - 10.5 miles

These legs were so good!  Started at East Canyon res and climbed 660 feet over 3.6 miles, then 5.5 downhill and I felt great.  Kept thinkin about Ben True in a video I had watched a few days earlier and tried to mimick that form.  When I reached the exchange my van had just showed up so the next guy wasn't ready yet, so I took off for a bonus mile and had them find me so we could exchange.  I didn't mind cuz I was feelin good!

NOON 

 Legs 31 & 32 - 9.5 miles

Man it was hot and I felt trashed from the downhill earlier.  Tried to hold a good stride, but the 5 degree temps did not help.  Ate a huge burger and had a few beers at the end.  Super fun Rangar as always!
