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.

Nice pace on rain soaked streets.  Learned today about Gordon Hinckley and thought about how this would affect friends in Salt Lake.  I have to travel for the rest of the week, so it will be a challenge to run.

jog/rest. Nice run, but would be better to do it on a track.

Nice group run from Solana Beach south to Torrey Pines with a couple of tempo miles mixed in.  The group decided to run the San Dieguto 1/2 marathon with me next Sunday as our training run.  It should be fun, but it puts some pressure on me to run well on a very difficult course.  The group is going to stay with the training schedule, so there will be no "rest" before or after the 1/2 marathon.  I'll probably go out 85% and see how it goes.  There are several 1:20ish people that I will have to let go.

I received some new shoes today, Adidas Super Novas.  I will have to test them this week.
