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.

A little back pain today from hard work in the yard on Sunday, so went to the chiropractic doc for a quick adjustment.  I plan on a follow up on Thursday.  Easy run from house to Avenues/Federal Heights area.

Run from house to zoo.  I'm planning on a two a/day tomorrow, because my back is feeling better.

Morning track work out.  We DVR LOST last night and stayed up past midnight watching it, but still got out of bed at 5:45 for the run.  3 x1200 with 1.5 mile warm up and cool down.  Found out this morning that our Wasatch Relay team has a 3 PM start.   I've been assigned LEG 1 (13 & 25), so that puts me running at 3 PM, 10:40 PM and 7:53 AM.  At least we can sleep in on Friday.  The 10:40 PM run should be interesting...8.5 miles down New Trappers Loop at night.  Total Relay miles will be 18.5...I'll sleep good that Saturday afternoon.

 

6.25 House to Sugar House park on some trails.

First leg of relay.  1.3 mile warm up followed by race.  Splits:

Mile 1 5:30

Mile 2 5:54

Mile 3 5:55

Mile 4 5:59

Mile 5 5:56

Mile 6 5:57

Mile 7 5:54

Waited for Coach Bill and ran the remainder of the half with him at 7:00 pace.  Next, ran to exchange 4 at easy cool down with Travis at about 8:00 pace.  I believe our team finished 2nd overall in the relay with a respectable time of 2:57.
