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 in heavy rain.  I was going to go skiing today, but the upper part of the mountains are closed (high winds).

Track work out at Mt. Carmel High School.  Funny fact, this is the high school where the movie "Bring it On" was filmed.  

1 mile warm up and 2 mile cool down with 8 x 400 with 200 rest in-between.

Treadmill run in Houston.

The group wants to do the Half Marathon race "together" as a training run.  The plan is to have some tempo and surges mixed in.  The pace will be way slower than my planned race pace (training run=7:30/mile), so I am having a tough time deciding what I will do.  I will probably run it with the group.

Run in Park Village at night.  

It looks like Sunday's race will be a training run.  That's OK, I'll probably try to go surfing later that day since it is supposed to be nice.

Group run in Carlsbad followed by a stretching seminar.  I rarely stretch after I run and it showed during our seminar.  I've read conflicting information on stretching, so I have not stretched much at all this running season. 


1/2 Marathon training run tomorrow.  There is a FREE beer garden afterwards for all runners!
