Personal:

I am Flatlander's son, 24yo, married, no kids, and I'm in medical school at UT-Houston in the Texas Medical Center. Grew up in NW Houston all my life, served a church mission in Vegas for 2 years, graduated BYU in 2010 with a degree in Biology, and moved back to the Real Promised Land as quick as I could, dragging the wife kicking and screaming with me.

Total Distance
2.31

75F, 100%, calm winds. 2.31 in 20:11, splits 8:22, 8:52, 9:23. Palpably hotter/tougher conditions this morning, as my splits illustrate. Before my watch beeped the 2nd mile reading, I thought I had sped up from the first mile. Same with the last 0.3. I think a great indicator that you're out of shape/overmatched/not feeling it is when you steadily slow down despite feeling like you're speeding up. Thought for the day.
