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.

Run from House up to 11th Ave then back. Another perfect day for running. I came across this link yesterday:

This guy does not look like he's 100 years old. I guess 100 is the new 80!

Longer run today from house to the Brickyard smoke stack. I was planning on running Sugar House park until I read that the state cross country championships were there today. I'm sure the place is packed. It would be fun to watch it, but not run in it!
