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.

Ran City Creek with Jason Rose on Sunday morning.  The weather was perfect and we planned to go further up the canyon, but the snow got too deep.

I ran to the track to do speed work, but there was a race meet going on, so I ran up to the U and back to the house.
