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.

Good hard tempo work-out this morning in Huntsville. Lonely race at this pace, but nice to see many of the bloggers and circuit runners.

You were truly in no-man's land - a 4 minute gap in front and behind you! That is almost comical!

Wow, Mark. You seem to come to Ogden Valley for all the races. That's a solid tempo run, sorry it was so lonely.

Kam - I ran up to talk with you and Matt after the race, but you go turned the other way and took off--I was expecting a little more courtesy in Ogden Valley - LOL!

Sorry, Mark. At the pace we were running by then, you could have caught us pretty easily. I'll endeavor to extend more hospitality in the future.
