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.

Early morning run in the Avenues before heading to Pocatello for work.  After I finish work, the plan is to take the family to Driggs for some vacation.  There should be plenty of nice places to run up there.

8 x 800 intervals at Teton High School in Driggs.  It was 40 degrees this morning!  It took awhile to get warmed up.  It was pretty cool watching the sun come up over the Tetons.  Also, a hot air balloon was filled up and took off from the football field.  That was neat to watch at 6 AM.

Run from Driggs up toward Grand Targee ski resort.  The view underneath the Tetons was really nice this morning.  Also, not as cold this morning for some reason. 

I had a friend offer me an official entry into St. George.  My training has been geared toward Top of Utah.  I have another friend that would love to have it, but I would like to run it just not competitively after just a 2 week recovery.

Early morning run from Driggs to Victor, Idaho.  Most of the run was on a bike trail running parallel to Idaho-33.  On the way back toward the ski resort I ran into the the Grand Teton Relay.  I saw several of the leaders.  It looks much smaller than Wasatch.  It finishes on the other side of the Tetons in Teton Village.  Has anyone run this?  I think it would be fun.
