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 my Dutch Fields loop....haven't been out there in awhile.  I've started using a HRM again just to make sure I'm keeping things @ Jack Daniels suggested bpm.  August is all about bumping up mileage to improve my cardio so I've gotta keep things slow enough to easily recover.  I'll throw in a few faster things to mix it up of course: )

Ran a loop with Lacy and Griffin at Dutch Hollow.  Lacy and I just took it slow and let Griffin tear the place up!  I wore my HRM to keep my HR at the 140 level which wasn't hard considering I had just gone for a run 3 hrs earlier and it was pretty hot out.

Out & back on the 24/7 connector @ Glenwild.  Kept the pace pretty easy on the way out(it's about 500 ft of climbing so easy  pace is still working pretty hard), then kept a good steady pace on the way back.  Good times!

Goose egg for today.  Packing all last night and movers showed up early.  I'm sure all the exercise is good for a few easy miles, but I'm not gonna log it.

Living temporarily in the avenue's until I can find a place.  Had to get into work early since I ewas gone Friday and Monday, plus I don't know where anything is.  So another zero.

Wow running in the avenue's is tuff!  I wore my HRM and avg. 167 for the run.  I'm guessing on mileage, but seems about right. did a little loop, then down 3rd ave to Canyon Rd and up city Creek for a little bit before heading back.  I wish I had my Garmin on because there was a lot of climbing.

Ran around the cemetery a bit to warm up, then took Virginia St down to south temple and zigzagged between South Temple and 1st Ave sprinting the uphill and joggin the flat and down.  Did this for 11 blocks, then went up to the 3rd ave and back to where I'm staying.  Was a fun workout.

5 w/ 11 short hills.
