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.

1 mile warm up and cool down with 6 x 200 at East High track. I did this run about 8:30 PM. It was a little creepy, because two shadows in the bleachers watched me the entire time.
Run in Golden, Colorado along the Golden Trail. My GPS died early in the run, so the mileage is an estimate. I stumble across a cool "dinosaur" trail next to a golf course. Several large dinosaur tracks in the clay. It was pretty neat. The trail runs parallel to Hwy 6.
Speed work at East High late at night. I arrived from Denver about 7 PM, then had dinner and went out to do speed work. 1 mile warm up with 8 x 400 with 200 recovery. 1.5 mile cool down. First couple were hard because of the heavy dinner. Tried out some new shoes-Asics Nimbus. Comfortable shoes, but heavy and loud.
Easy, slow run with Coach Bill's St. George group on Jordan River Parkway. Afterwards, we stopped at the "team's" massage therapist for bagels, motivation and stretching. The St. George group seems to be in great shape. They should all have a good race next weekend.
