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.

Morning interval work-out at East High.  Warm up and cool down with 6 x 800.  There was a speed walker on the track this morning.  That does not look like any fun!  Followed up with a core work-out I've been trying to do daily during the week.

Morning run up to Hogle Zoo then across Wasatch and down 13th South back to the house.  It took several miles to warm up and run a decent pace.

Tempo work at Highland High with warm up and cool down.  2 x 1600.  All the gates were locked, but I'm not sure why.  I was able to fit in between two gates and get my morning run in.  Is this trespassing?

Afternoon run up to City Creek then over to West High (they have a nice track) and through downtown back into Sugar House.  The weather was cool, but I did not get wet!
