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 around Sugar House Park area.  Ran through Mount Olivet Cemetery close the U. of U.  Nice, quiet paved streets with beautiful trees and lots of deer.  It was a nice run.  I also ran by the "Fountain of Ute."  Not sure what this is, but I will try to find out on future runs.

Run from house to Sugar House Park.  Nice head wind and a little chilly.

I've decided to run a 5K race on Saturday.

I had to fly home Tuesday night because my father had a heart attack and passed away.  It was a very sad experience and running blog will show that I only did this run and one more before heading back home to Salt Lake.  This was a run along the Applachian trail in North Carolina.  It was a beautiful run and gave me time to reflect on my father and the difficult decision we would have to face the coming week.
