Personal:
Married to Elizabeth (she got me running in 2003). We have three boys, Lucas (12) , Sam (8) and Ollie (5).
Many years ago, I read that the AVERAGE male is capable of a 2:40 marathon. I decided to test that theory. I began running in 2003 with Top of Utah as my first marathon (4:24). I need 3 more minutes.

Not 100% with a cold moving through the family, but still thought I could PR the course. First 5K on target (18:16) but struggled the second half (18:43), but still moved up two spots. Fell short of my course PR (36:41).

Hi Mark- Looks like you’re in great shape right now despite the cold! I’m browsing past race reports looking for new shoe ideas to race for my next marathon. What do you wear?
