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.

5:45 AM trail run in Big Cottonwood canyon over to The Canyons then down into Millcreek before returning to Big Cottonwood. Cold start with packed snow, but near the peaks it was deep (4 feet)! Awesome time pushing through and clearing a path. Coming back to Big Cottonwood the snow was melting and the trail was mud--much more difficult than the snow! Fun stuff today.
AM: 4.1 miles. 5 x 200 at East High with warm up and cool down. The track was very crowded early this morning. A little slow due to the long run yesterday.
AM: 9.5 miles. Early morning interval workout at Highland track with Pope, Stephen, Tracy and Amber. Warm up and cool down with 6 x 800 including a 400 meter jog recovery in between. Average pace 2:41.
