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.

Was in Mexico last week.  Planning on running, but is was crazy hot & humid the whole time, so bagged it stuck to water sports.  Did a lot of swimming in the pool and went on a few snorkle trips which was super fun.

Noon

I feel it's time to start doing some decent strength/drill training again.  Things haven't really progressed how I wanted since breaking my finger and now taking over a week off with vacation.  My cores a little soft and I feel unbalanced so I'll start with more structured strength and core exercises that will move to plyometric/strength exercises then to drill/rep workouts later down the road.  Today 10min jump rope/upper and lower body with low reps/core

1300E/2700S/1700E/Thru SHP and underpass back.  Biking up hill and then squating and lunging the next day has killed my legs!
