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.

Interval work at East High school.  Cold and dark for 8 x 1000 at 5K pace with mile warm up and cool down.  I will probably take this workout up to 9 next week, then drop it to 800's with one and a half months away from the marathon.

I was in West Jordan this afternoon for a Healthfair heart attack and stroke exam.  They bascially do an ultrasound on your heart and aortic vein looking for issues.  Its just a routine deal that I do every 5-10 years, since heart issues run in my family.  I should have the results back in 2-3 weeks.  I am pretty positive everything is in proper working order.

After the exam, I drove over to Jordan River Parkway at Gardner Village for a cold and windy 7 miles.  I have run this section often, but it has been a few years.  Not much on the trail has changed, but they are running the new TRAX line next to the Parkway for about 1 mile.

Emigration canyon run with the group.  It was a cold early morning run, but nice and sunny at the top of Emigration.  We ran back down into Salt Lake and the weather was cloudy, cold and windy.
