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.

AM  Total run time  1:28:10

Well it happened today.  I submitted to the weather and wore tights for the first time this fall.  Damn.  Oh well, at least there was no rain/snow or wind.  So conditions were actually pretty ideal for a hard run. : )

Took Griffin out for 1.92, then went out for 10.22 on my own.

The goal was a 6 mile progressive tempo with the first 2 miles at a moderate pace, next 2 at a moderately hard pace, and the last 2 at a hard pace.  I haven't really ran a tempo of this length in awhile, so I was felling it for sure.  Had a little loss of motivation a couple times, but I pulled thru.  splits were 6:56(uphill), 6:48(downhill), 6:35(downhill to flat), 6:49(uphill to flat), 6:35(downhill to flat), and 6:26(dowhill to flat).  Ran 4.22 cool down.

I would melt in that heat! What team are you on for Vegas Ragnar? I'm on Fear & Loathing.

I'm #5 as well. Our first leg looks super fun...leg #3 not so much. :)

Not looking forward to that third leg. I put myselft down for 7:30's on the first two legs and 8:40 for the last. We start at 6:30am. What about you?

We're at 10:30, so think we'll be done around 3pm Saturday. Then it's clean up and out on the strip for some post race fun! You staying in Vegas on Saturday night?

I am staying in Vegas Saturday night but don't know if the team has any plans.
