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.

Lazy run in the middle of the day.  Nothing noteworthy, just recovery from Saturday.

40 minutes at race pace in canyon.  Tough run on narrow trails and steep ascents/descents.  I was exhausted after the short run!

Tempo run in the canyon.  Lots of bugs out today.  I actually got "pooped" on by a bird the last mile.  It hit my knee...glad I wasn't running faster!

Ten miles at race pace.  I'm starting to get a cold, so the pace was difficult to keep.  We also had a 400 ft. climb over a mile stretch.  Very hot this morning.
