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.

Well, I have been a total slacker about posting.  I did not run 120 miles today, but that is the total for the missed days (I won't bore you with the details).  The last couple of weeks I have run in Colorado, Georgia and North Carolina (where I jumped over a slow moving snake)!  Today,  I ran at Highland high school today and did 7 x 800.

Millcreek trail run with JasRo early this morning.  Tough short climb to reach the pipeline trail, but then some great views of the valley.

This was a high mileage week, but I always enjoy this 5K due to the raffle (sorry Sasha).  I won fireworks!

Murray is a hard course and I was a little slower than last year, but at least I didn't feel like barfing at the end. 

My three year old ran the 1/2 mile Kids course in 7 minutes!  I told him if he ran the entire distance then we would play in the bounce house and he made it! 

My splits stunk, so I 'm not going to post them.
