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.

Speed work at East High.  7 x 200 with mile warm up and cool down.  I was very sore from the horrible run on Saturday, but still went out Sunday night in the rain to redeem myself.  It was very slow speed work, but it helped me stretch out.

Run from house to Sugar House park in rain/snow mix.  The first two miles were difficult, but then got into a rhythm and felt good at the end.  I believe I have recovered from the 20 miler on Saturday.  I will try to do tempo work on Wednesday.

Speed work at East High.  Did this run about 9 PM in very icy conditions, but the pace felt good.  1 mile warm up and cool down with 6 x 1200.

Another late night run around Sugar House park.  It was fun to hear the sounds of the Utah/TCU football game coming from the stadium while running.

Fun race at Wheeler farm for the Humane Society.  Probably over 500 runners with some serious elite guys showing up (15:48 won it--Terrance Jamenson). 

I started out on pace at 5:44/1 mile then began to drop to 6:03/2 mile then 6:10/3 mile.  I did not get passed and actually out kicked 2 runners the last 1/2 mile (back at 5:44 pace).  I was also able to stay several seconds ahead of the first female (Emily Jamenson).  Overall it was a good race and I PR'd by 25 seconds.  I would like to get down to sub 18:00 and run 5:50 pace the entire length.  I hope to get there before the Spring.
