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.

Easy morning shake-out run from the TOU 1/2 marathon race.  Comfortable (read slow) pace through the Avenues.  The uphill felt good, but the downhill hurt.  I should be good for interval work early in the morning.

My legs were still to fatigued from the 1/2 marathon for interval work today, so ran around Sugar House park instead.  I'll try to get the 2 mile repeats in Wednesday or Thursday while in Asheville, NC this week.  Time to train in high humidity!

Three 2.0 mile repeats on the track in Bryson City, NC.  I saw one person early in the morning walking the track, but he was not very social.  It was a good workout considering the travel the day before.  I averaged about 5:59 pace.

Another run on the track.  It is very dark in the morning and I need to find some other well lit areas.

One more early morning run on the track in Bryson City, North Carolina.  

Warm up and cool down with 5 x 200. Uneventful, except for the poor lady I scared to death when I walked out on to the track at 5:30 AM.  She was walking and singing a the top of her lungs.  I thought it was cool, but she was embarrassed and left after my first mile..stinks, would have been nice to have some music to run my 200's to!
