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.

Run from Driggs up toward Grand Targee ski resort.  The view underneath the Tetons was really nice this morning.  Also, not as cold this morning for some reason. 

I had a friend offer me an official entry into St. George.  My training has been geared toward Top of Utah.  I have another friend that would love to have it, but I would like to run it just not competitively after just a 2 week recovery.

sounds like a great run. nice job.

i think it would be fun to do both marathons. do you have a time goal in mind for TOU?

It was a nice run on an empty road. I hope to be 2:50-3:00 at TOU. I plan on running the 1/2 next week. Are you going up?
