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.

I'm not able to run in the mornings this week due to my wife being out of town and me with the kids.  I was able to get a run in around Liberty Park and a little core work at the gym.  It's going to be another low mileage week.  I should be well rested for next week!

Nice job making the effort to get in the mileage. You should get in some good recovery.

I'm glad you have proof that, that is your real profile pic and not a stock photo from online:) I know that was lame. Yeah having to juggle the kids with runs is hard but might be time for a low mileage week anyway? See you in a couple weeks, the half is haunting my thoughts.

I'm too cheap to buy the photo, but I have hundreds of them that have PROOF tattooed across the front-lol.

The 1/2 is a piece of cake compared to the 5K , 10K and 10 miler hill courses!
