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.

Ran a weird figure 8 loop on the farm roads.  Feel pretty energetic after 2 days off.  I wore a pair of Fastwitch 5's I got pretty cheap and as much as I love Saucony shoes, I do not like these.  The toe box is too cramped for me, so the search for a good road flat continues.

Rna the Park City Running with Ed relay today.  My company put entered 12 teams, 1 for each department, and made it a company contest.  The winning team received a free pair of shoes, so I was totally down!  

1 mile warm up with Griffin, then off to Park City for the race.  the race was pretty uneventful considering my team had a ~3:00 lead after the first leg which grew to 35:00 by the time we finished.  In other words and we won!  My legs of the race were 4 & 9 which both have pretty gnarly climbs and descents, but I held up well after only running about 35 miles per week over the past 2 months.  Super fun day and great party scene at the end.
