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.

I took my two nephews to the track to play football while I ran 1000's. After every lap that ask me if I was done (so I would play with them). I got a 1 mile warm up and 7 x 1000 in before relenting to play QB.
Tough speed work out at the Kerns Oval. Warm up, cool down, 6x 60 meter strides and 12 x 200. On about number 7 or 8 on the 200's I ran up on a guy doing mile tempos and we raced to the line. He beat me, but then about puked (Tyler?). It was fun, but I had 4-5 more to do. I was done.
