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.

AM: 7.05 miles.  Morning run after a hard ski day on Sunday.  It was a pleasant morning for a run (no rain, snow or ice)!

PM: 3.5 miles.   I ran to they gym and back, but on the return I was mauled by a boxer/pit bull mix.  He just nipped at me and jumped on me, but still a little scary.  I stopped and its owner was screaming at him or her.  Once the dog ran back to the owner, I continued running, but the dog came at me again!  I was never really super scared, but one good bite and you are done running for a while.

On to much cooler items; I did a long group run on Saturday and ran into Richard Carling.  Pretty incredible guy.  Check out his story here (could not get link tool work, so go old school and copy/paste):

Off to PHX in the morning, so I'm sure my running will suffer.

PM: 6.0 miles.  Working in Phoenix today.  Short run before darkness.  I actually ran through  the middle of a cotton field, ripe with cotton...very strange.  I thought cotton was a Texas/South thing not an Arizona export 10 miles west of downtown Phoenix.  One more thing...the weather was perfect!

AM: 7 miles.  Snow run to Sugar House park!  So much better than rain.

PM: 3.5 miles.  Warm run to the gym.  The sun peaked out for a few minutes.  A little more core/upper body intensity planned this month.

Great turn out for a group run this morning at Wheeler Farm.  It was windy at my house, but nice in Murray.  A couple of good tempo miles thrown into the mix.
