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.

Took Griffin on our neighborhood loop for 1.90 miles.  Then went out for 8 x 1:15 with 3:00 recovery.  Pace averaged about 5:19 per repeat.  I fetl really robotic today, just could not get a good flow goin.  Probably because I didn't touch these speeds last week, so this was 2 weeks since my last workout like this......way too long.  Did 2 sets of butt-kicks, high-knees, bounding, and stiff leg during my cool-down.

PM

Stretching and light core.

Took Griffin out for 1.95, then did a shortened interval workout.  I'm backin off a little this week to recover and hit it hard the next 3 weeks.  did 4 x 4:00 with 2:00 recovery.  Pace per mile for splits were 6:13, 6:09, 6:16, 6:09.  Did these back & forth on the Provo River Trail.  Did 2 sets of butt-kicks, high-knees, bounding, and squat jumps during my cool down.  When I got home did 30 push-ups, 30-dips, core, and squats.

Starting to feel pretty anxious with the lower mileage this week, so for better or worse went out a little longer today.  Last week I planned on doing an easy 5 or 6, but yesterday decided I wanted to go longer.  Took Griffin out for 1.94, then did the Soldier Hollow loop which was 7.22 miles solo.  Avg. 7:08 per mile for the solo part.
