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.

5 AM run to Sugar House park before heading out of town to Steamboat Springs.  There sure were a lot of runners out at 5.  My legs were sore from the Provo Half on Saturday and going to Snowbird on Sunday with the family.  

I was disappointed with the my Provo race time, until I put it into Sasha's "race time predictor" and found I'm still on track to try and hit a 2:45 at St. George.  I think most of my disappointed came from Craig smoking me.  I plan on running TOU-Half in a couple of weeks and hope to get a sub 1:19 to stay "on-track."

Run on trails in Steamboat Springs.  It was 40 degrees the morning!  Autumn has hit Colorado!

Late day run around Sugar House park.  Today, I finally felt recovered from the Provo Half...just in time for a 22 miler on Saturday.

Trail run on the Pipeline in Mill Creek with JasRo this morning.  It was a slow pace, but the steep climb makes it a difficult run.

Nice, early morning group run up Emigration.  There were tons of bikers coming up as we finished.  I've never seen so many.  For some reason, many bikers think they own the shoulder of the road.  It was nice to be done before 8:30!
