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.

Elliptical miles at the gym (20 minutes).  Day #1 on the road back to recovery since the spine injury on January 23.  Staring slow to see how much pain I have in the morning!  First time I have ever been jealous of people running on a treadmill.

Well, with the weather almost 70 degrees outside, I could not resist a run.  3 miles around Liberty park.  It felt like 15 miles.  My back is fine, but the legs are out of shape (no matter what people say-elliptical training is not a good substitute for running). Almost 60 days since the last run, so I'll take it!
