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.

Total Distance
10.55

AM: 7.05 miles.  Windy, but warm morning today for a run to Sugar House park.  I dug deep into my closet this morning to run in some classic Fila Providences.  I don't think they make this shoe anymore (not since 1989-jk).  Its great for high arches.  

PM: 3.5 miles.  Before the snow hit...bye bye Spring-so sad.

The last Fila shoe I remember wanting was the Grant Hill basketball model, circa 1995!
