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.

Lucky place to live! Not only is it beautiful, but you have pretty decent running weather all year, don't ya?

Are you originally from Utah (just guessing from the Utah races)?

Hi Kelli,

San Diego is a great place to run in the winter. I can be a little tough in the summer with the humidity. I am from Utah and we are actually moving back in September!

Just in time for winter running here! Where are you moving to?

Close to the U of U (9th and 9th area). Bring on the snow!

I agree--I like it. BUT I hate running in it (so I don't)!

Well, welcome back to Utah in a month!
