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.

Evening run in perfect weather.  I ran from the house to Sugar House Park, then up to Tanner Park and into Dog Canyon.  I crossed over the freeway and ran up to Foothill then along Wasatch and finally back down to the house.  I did not take hydration and could not have asked for better conditions.

7 x 200 with warm up and cool down at East High.  The Utah track team was practicing, so the track was full.

4 x 800 at East High.  It was hard to keep the pace strong in the cold and wind today.  I plan on adding 1-2 every month until I am up to 10 total with all run at sub 2:45 pace. 

Today, I continued by great shoe trial.  I ran in new Under Armour shoes (I didn't even know they made shoes until last week)..  They are heavy trainers, but feel pretty good.  We will see how they do.  I also have a pair of Etonics that I hope to tryout in the early Summer.

There was also a U of U middle distance girl practicing hard with her coach.  It will be fun to see how they do this year.

Run before the storm.  Windy jog up to Dilworth Park then back to the house.  This is a neat little park with several playground areas. It would be a fun place to bring Lucas.

I saw the Rose clan at a stoplight on 17th East.   

 I'm not sure if I will run with the group early Saturday morning.  I'll see how the weather looks at 5:30 AM.

Early morning run with group up Emigration Canyon.  There was a 10-mile race down the canyon that started at 7:30, so I wanted to make sure I was out of the way.  It was snowy, windy and icy conditions.  I feel sorry for the racers today!
