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.

I got a quick 6 mile run in today during periods of snow. My wife delivered our second child on Easter morning, so things have been crazy. Both mom and little Sam are doing great. They were doing so good, we came home early on Monday.
4 x 800 at 5:30 mile pace with warm up and cool down. Great weather today. The track was full of elementary school kids doing a timed 1 mile run. Some of the kids ran a 6:30 mile!
Quick afternoon run from House to Sugar House Park. I spent most of the day today watching Walter and Kim (blogs) pour my new patio. They does nice work.
A hot 12 miles up to Wasatch Drive then over I-215 through Tanner Park. I ducked the construction fence and ran the dozed out new trail. It will be nice someday. Circled back through Sugar House Park then down to Hidden Hollow before heading home. I did a lot of dirt trail running today. It was a little too far to try without hydration, but I made it.
