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.

Tried out a new model of the Fila Providence shoe, so I tried to stay on the road (no dirt). The shoe felt pretty good considering I ran 18 on Saturday. I will try to run with it all week and see how it holds up.
Good run today on a new course through some neighborhoods. Nice hill workout.
Did a mixed trail/road run. I found a way into a gated golf community. There are no sidewalks, but there are dirt trails next to the streets. I believe everyone in the neighborhood owns a horse. The homes are pretty incredible...must be $5-$10 million. It was a good run, but temperature started to dip below 60 around 4 PM. I'll have to try running on the golf course some early morning.
Run through the older part of the neighborhood (80's). Nice rolling hills. I had to mow the yard when I finished...its crazy to be cutting grass this close to Christmas!
Run in Carlsbad with group. A couple of new sub 3-hour runners showed up. They were getting ready for the Arizona Rock-n-Roll in January. We ran the first 6 mile easy and the second half at race pace. I tried some different shoes today and they caused my right leg to hurt. It was a weird pain right above my inside ankle. It didn't slow me down and it stopped hurting a couple of hours after finishing the run. Maybe I will just use the shoes for distances 10K or less.
