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.

Whew!  I did not feel good today at all.  I wanted to add a few miles to make up for yesterday, but I indulged a little too much with Lacy late last night and I could feel it today.  Glad I got the mileage in though:)  Out & back to 40 via River Rd.

Ran easy to the farm roads and did a few drills before heading back.  I was gonna stop these, but decided I should keep a few on the Friday roster.  They were starting to grade the dirt roads when I was leaving to smooth them out.  Tomorrow should be a good day out there!

2.25 warm,

2 x butt kicks, high-knees, carioca & bounding w/ a stride between each,

4.25 cool

Ran out to 40 via the farm roads, then ran back to the farm roads by the Other End and finished with an out & back on the river trail.  Felt kinda crappy at first, but got into a grove about 40 minutes in.
