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.

One last good work-out before Des News.  10 x 800 at East High with warm up and cool down.  Average 800 pace at 2:44.

Another 3.5 to gym for core.  My plan is to do one more then not run again until the Draper 5K on Saturday and finally DesNews marathon on Tuesday.

One last run to the gym before the marathon.  Heading to Eugene, OR for work for the rest of the week.  Maybe I can get some free last minute coaching advice...

Another fun Draper Days 5K.  Lots of fast runners this year.  Most were using it as a tune up for DesNews. 

Course PR, but the at last mile was pathetic.  5:35 then a 5:36 and finally a 5:57!  I settled into my place about 1/4 mile into the race and there I remained (no one to run with or pass).  I was hoping for sub 17:30, but the time is close. 

They had my age down as a Master, so I would be in the money, but I corrected their mistake (I still have a couple more months)!

Always good to see the other bloggers and circuit runners.
