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.

Run up to Wastach Drive then through "Dog" canyon (next to Tanner Park). They are building a new paved trail through the canyon. It will be great, because you should be able to avoid most of the dogs when it is finished. Ran over to Sugar House park then back home for a long mid-week run.
Another long run up to the Avenues, through the UofU, above the Hogle Zoo then back into the Sugar House area. I saw 3 different large groups out running early the morning.
Interval work-out at East High. 9 x 800 with warm up and cool down. I will be up to 10 YASSOs in September before St. George. There was an Army fitness test going on while I was running (push-ups, sit-up and 2 mile run). I don't think I could do 20 sit-ups to save my life!
Nice trail run on City Creek with Drew and Trace A from the running group. We found Treasure Box mine and all the old mining equipment from the early 1900's. The entrance looked pretty small and scary, so I could not talk Drew and Trace into going in. Next time we will bring a flash light.
