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.

Watched the London Triathlon Champs yesterday and all I could think about this morning was Alistair Brownlee's smooth running style.  That dude is an awesome runner and athlete.  Anyway, did an out & back to US 189 and kept the pace steady for the last 3 miles(about 6:40 pace).  

6.03 in 42:27, avg. 7:02 per mile.

 

1PM

A little toasty out, but made for a nice slow run up Willow Creek to do some drills on the soccer field.  Then did some :30 pick-ups on the way back to work.

  2.70 up Willow Creek,

1 set of XC skier, ski hop, speed skater, butt-kicks, high-knee skipping, and carioca w/ a stride between each,

3.60 back to the office w/ 12 x :30 repeats @ 5:20 to 5:35 pace and 1:00 easy run recovery

Ran the Glenwild trails and did the same loop as 2 weeks ago, but added an out & back to the river crossing on the Cobblestone trail to get some extra climbing and mileage.  Did mile 11 in 6:17 which was down rocky switch backs with a few little hills.  What a great run! 

12.41 in 1:40:27, avg. 8:06 per mile.  1,678 vertical gain

Decided to drop in on this race, but turns out it was set up more as a training run so there only about 80 people.  The director said I could run for free if I shuttled some people to the start in my jeep, which sounded like a good exchange for letting me use the aid stations.  Anyway, super low key and I was just gonna treat it as a tempo effort since this about a 70 mile week for me, but when the gun went off, a few people went out hammerin and I couldn't help myself.  Splits were all over the place so I won't post them.  I was in 1st after about 1.5 miles in and kept about a 5:50 pace thru the first 4 miles.  After that I began to fade and the last few miles were about 6:20 average...ouch!  Definitely started too fast and a little more of a taper this week would have helped, but I wanted to run hard on fatigued legs, which is what I did.  Ran solo until about 9.25 miles in, then got past and couldn't hold on.  First place finished about 15 seconds ahead of me.  Overall I'm happy with the time considering how much I've been building mileage over the past 4 weeks.

3 warm-up,

10.07 in 1:01:51, avg. 6:08 per mile,
