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.

Traditional Murray 5K for the fourth of July.  I've run the race 7 or 8 times now, so it is a great gauge of my fitness.  I'm little bummed on the short course, but not much I can do about it except run a little extra down the chute!  Started the race behind Sasha and Dennis.  After a mile, I went with Sasha and another younger runner.  Sasha put a little distance on my at the end of mile 2, but I was making up ground the last 1/2 mile of the race.  Finished 2nd Master, a few steps behind Sasha--I'm not sure how I was 8-9 seconds back of his time since I was close to him at the finish.  

Highlight of the day was my 7-year old's first 5K in 26 minutes!
