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 up to East for some much needed speed work. 5 x 200...that is a different kind of hurt!

AM: 7.5 miles. Was finally able to drag my sorry self out of bed early this morning for a run. I hope after a few more early wake-up calls it will be old hat again. Sugar House loop with some trail through Bonneville Glen.

PM: 3.5 miles. Run to gym for core and upper body. A group of people running is OK, a group of people lifting weights is weird.

AM: 10 miles. Highland High School track VO2 work-out early this morning. 6 x 800 with warm up and cool down. Nice to run with some of the blogging crew this morning. Its much easier to do track work-outs with people close to your speed rather than going solo. Averaged 2:43 splits and felt great at the end.

PM: 3.5 miles. Gym for core.
