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.

Hard hilly run in the middle of the day.  It was hot (85) and humid.

Ran on the treadmill in Wyoming. The treadmill said I did 7 miles, but there is no way. I tried to do some tempo work (5x1000), but the distance was hard to measure.

There was a coach in the USA Fit San Diego running group that lobbied hard for his runners to do their runs on the treadmill.  I'm appalled on two levels--1) treadmill is boring and 2) you live in FREAKING San Diego.  It was 83 degrees yesterday.

I hate the treadmill.

Flew from Laramie, WY back to San Diego today.  It was nice and warm when I got off the plane, so I did a run as soon as I got home.  Ran some new trails North of the house.  I found a late 90's minivan with 2006 plates at bottom of canyon.  Someone had wrote "were coming for you" on the back.  It was pretty cool.  Probably not a great place to run, but very exciting.  If I ever disappear running have the police search the farm house and lake area north of my house...hahaha...mmm.

Six miles with new running group at Mission Bay.  Most people in the "Chicago" group are sub 3:20 marathoners.  They group tries to average sub 8:00 pace, so it should work out nicely.  They also have a Boston group that gets mileage in before the group runs.
