R2R2R @ the Grand Canyon with a group of friends - 16 hours(2014) Short-Term Running Goals: Get back in decent running form. Maybe enter a road race in 2017? Long-Term Running Goals: Run a 5k under 18:00 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| AM 2 miles with Griffin. No watch. 7.20 miles in 54:37. Avg. 7:35 per mile. I felt like crap this whole time, but it's supposed to snow pretty heavy tonight, so probably no chance to run outside tomorrow. That's winter running in the mountains for ya.

| Sure enough there was about 8 inches of new snow, and some ice as well, so decided to keep it inside. Did a lot of stretching along with planks, side planks, bird-dog and a few other leg poses. | | Add Comment |

| AM Stationary bike for 1:00:00 It was super cold this morning, about 3 degrees with a slight wind chill. Not ready to play that game yet, plus I'll be running in these temps next month when I start getting ready for the SLC half.

| Tried my hand at surfing in the morning. I think I would be decent if I lived near the ocean. Oh well, I'll just have to settle for the white wave here in the mountains : ) PM 5.68 in 41:56 Avg. 7:22 per mile I thought it would be dirt roads to run on, so took my trail shoes. There is really no place to run around where we stayed so did an out and back on the only highway where we were at. It was less than fun.

| Had a great time out on the town last night, so a perfect chance to chill out and get things back in order. Griffin stayed at my friends house and now he's yakin like crazy! He probably just ate something that didn't agree with him. | | Add Comment |

| Griffin seems to be doing better, but isn't quite ready for sustained effort. Did a bunch of yoga poses in the morning, then took Griffin to Dutch Hollow for a 1.5 hour hike on the snowy trails. I wore an 8 lb. vest during our hike. | | Add Comment |

| AM 5.14 in 37:14 avg. 7:14 per mile. 11 degrees and 98%
humidity made it a chilly morning. I ran the first 2.5 miles at an
easy pace, then picked it up for the rest. Felt like I was moving at a
pretty good clip, but didn't get any splits. Did 30 push-ups and some
core after my run.

| AM 4.37 in 36:00. Avg. 8:14 per mile. I was gonna run on the treadmill today, but the plows were out early, so there was only about 2" of snow on the roads. So I put on the trail shoes and just kept the pace slow. It was beautiful today with all the new snow and big flakes coming down. A very serene experience. Did 30 push-ups, planks, and side-planks after my run.

| AM I got a heart rate monitor that has a chronograph for x-mas, so decided to try it out at the track today. I'm not sure what my max rate is, so today was just kind of playing around. 1.5 mile warm-up - HR was about 140 12 x 200m at 40 seconds (5:20 pace - HR would reach about 174) with 400m rest. Not sure what my pace was during the rest periods, but I made sure my heart rate went below 160 before running hard again. I felt refreshed for the next hard effort, so I guess it was a good tactic? 1.5 mile cool down - HR was around 150 - 155 Did 2 sets of butt-kicks, high-knees, single leg squats and running pose after the run. HR went down to about 113.
I need to play around with HRM some more, but I can see it being useful for recovery instead of concentrating on pace.

| AM Super cold this morning, so did a little workout inside. Did 10 minutes of running in place, then 3 x 8 pull-ups with some core in between. Then hit the mountain for some snowboarding. We just got 2 feet of fresh, so conditions were pretty good.....besides being -10 degrees. BRRRRRR!
