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 from house up to Zoo then over to Wasatch then down 13th South back to the house.  Nice, warm day.  Perfect for running!

5 x 800 at East High track with warm up and cool down.  It was busy again today, due to the Utah track team practicing at East.  I usually run my intervals in lane 8 when it is busy, but the track team was using all the lanes so I ran in lane 1 which they were not using...strange.  I was hoping that going to the track late in the day would cut down on people, but the opposite seems to be true.

Speed work at an empty East High.  Elizabeth, Lucas and Sam came while I ran 7 x 200 with warm up and cool down.  I wanted to catch some of the marathon, but my mother-in-law flew back to Georgia this morning, so missed watching the race.
