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.

Murray 5K today.  Nice and hot.  Always a challenging course and competitive race. 

Course PR, but my watch showed 17:48 (it was hand timed, so maybe a little off).  The first two splits were 5:37 and 5:39, but last one was 5:49 I really wanted the last one to be the fastest and tried to set-up my race pace for this, but it was not happening! 

Won a cookbook at the raffle.  The name drawn before me won a treadmill and the name after me won a spa certificate...bummer.

Congrats to my running partner, Tracy for her masters 2nd place win!
