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.

Legs felt good, but energy was down today.  Kept it chill on the Soldier Hollow loop and did an extra loop around the block by the ice rink.  It feels like jhust yesterday families were skating there.  Winter is almost here!

Just keeps getting colder....24 degrees today.  Busted out a baselayer and arm warmers along with a big fluffy beanie which helped make the temps not too bad.  My legs felt really poppy today, so just floated around town.  100S to 40 to 600S and around the neighborhood.
