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.

Lactic acid shake out run from TOU marathon on Saturday.  Felt pretty good running around Liberty Park.  I hope I didn't push it to hard at TOU and ruin my chances at St. George!

Upped the mileage this morning!  It felt like I ran 20 miles.  It is going to take a few days to recover from the TOU marathon.  

Early morning run around Sugar House park.  I had to wear the gloves this morning!

Morning run, with the gloves (again), up to the Avenues then back home.  I now try to avoid the sprinklers due to the colder temps!

Faster paced run today around Sugar House park then back to the house.  I started the run with a refreshing shower within the first 1/4 mile!  It was dark and I was messing with my MP3 player then--splosh.  It took 3 miles to warm up a little.

After the run my achilles tendon was inflamed.  I'll take tomorrow off before attempting a short run on Saturday.

Nice group run this morning from the Capital to Emigration canyon above the zoo.  The distance was a bit far and the pace too, but felt good during the run.  Taper week!
