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.
