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.

First run back since the marathon on Saturday. Legs felt pretty good, but feet were sore. I'm not much of a fan of Asics Speedstar, although I really like my Asics Cumulus training shoe. I need to find a new marathon and 1/2 marathon racing shoe. I'm debating about running the Greek Festival 5K this Saturday. It is always a fun event, but the course stinks (Gateway area). I will try to go to the track on Friday and see if I have any speed back before deciding.
Well, I have a pretty nasty cold today, so no running. I also, will not run the Greek Festival 5K tomorrow, which I really enjoy (great raffle prizes, Sasha)!
