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.

AM: 6.8 miles.  I ran the last few miles of the Deseret News marathon starting at the Foothill 1300 E turn to the finish.  The last mile will be some work to the finish.

PM: 4.2 miles.  Gym for core.  Weighed some of my shoes today.  Surprised to find out that my 500 mile Hokas Bondi-B(11.5 oz) only weigh one ounce more than my racing Nike Lunarspeed Lites (10.5 oz).  I recently purchased the Hoka Mafate 2 and thought they would be good to race in until I weighed them (14 oz).  Looks like its the high mileage Bondi for the Deseret News marathon!

AM: 12.1 miles.  Hot and windy morning in Sugar House park for 6 x 1 mile tempos.  Good turn out of people again.  Average pace 5:49.  A little slow, but another high mileage week. 

PM: 3.5 miles.  Gym for core.  Nice recovery after tempo work early this morning.

AM: 7.5 miles.  Sugar House park route.  Ordered new "racing" Hokas (Bondi-Speed) after weighing my shoes.  My new Hoka Mafat 2s are 14 ounces, so way to heavy to run a marathon in.  I hope the new Bondi-Speed shoe comes in lower than 11.5 ounces.

PM: 6.5 miles.  Run up City Creek...still hot.

AM: 7.5 miles.  Sugar House park run.  In running injury news, I was happy to see the Supreme Court upheld the Health Care changes today (even though I'm a registered Republican--the Party is wrong on this one).

PM: 3.5 miles.  Gym for core.

Des News course.  It was hot, but manageable.
