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 in the canyon through the Del Mar mesa.  Dropped down into a biking trail for some hill work.

I ran through PQ canyon, then up to Del Mar Mesa.  I followed a trail out to Highway 56 and then worked my way back into Park Village.  I was surprised at how short the distance was.  Good run in the heat and humidity.

Yesterday, I was in San Jose for the entire day and night, so I had no time to run.  I was able to make my "Tucson" training schedule while on the plane back to San Diego.  I should be in Week 2 of a 16-Week program.  I was supposed to run a 10-miler over the weekend, but I will be in Salt Lake Friday and Saturday, so no time to run (moving).  I will try to get my long runs in on Thursday for the next couple of weeks.

I ran the entire length of the PQ Canyon today.  It was hot and humid.  I was glad to be finished! I'm looking forward to cooler weather in Utah.

I drove back to Salt Lake for weekend to drop off one of the cars in preparation for our move back.  I ran the 15th East-Sugarhouse park route.  It gets darker much later in SLC versus San Diego.  With the low humidity, it was a good run.
