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.

So much goin on with moving and work plus I haven't been sleeping well so I took this week off.  Hopefully didn't kill my fitness too much.  Felt ok today, just cruised up to Sugarhouse park for a couple laps, then some drills at Fairmont.

4.6 then did butt kicks, high knees, bounding, jump squats & burpees w/ a stride between each at the end.

Tried out my new A5's today.  They feel light and super peppy.  Kinda snug in the toebox, so no long distances or hilly runs, but great for flat and fast.  Ran to liberty park for some :30 repeats with walk breaks.  

2 warm, 8 x :30 @ 5:00 - 4:45 pace w/ 1:45 walk break, 2 cool + pull ups/push ups

Tried out the Bonneville Shoreline from Emigration trailhead.  I think my HR maxed about .25 miles into cuz it was steep!  Next time I'm gonna try from the U of U trailhead.  Seems like less agressive of a start.

Went to the industrial parkway by work for repeats.  Felt good and relaxed, but my cardio is a long way from letting me hold these paces for an extended period of time.  Type A's are the bomb!

1.7 warm, 2 x :30 @ 5:00 pace, 4 x 1:00 @ 5:20 pace, 4 x :30 @ 4:50 pace, 1.6 cool

Checked out the trails at Dimple Dell.  They seem to be more of equestirna trails than for running.  Spectacular view of Little Cottonwood, but I don't think I'll be going there again.
