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 on the Del Mar Mesa.  Had some hip flexor pain.  I may need to reduce some mileage until fully recovered from Boston.

Long run down the coast from Oceanside to Del Mar.  The last few miles were pretty tough.  I didn't have much spring in my step.  I will probably pass on the San Diego marathon on June 1 and look for shorter races. Maybe, I can get more speed during the summer before a Fall marathon.
