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 waited for the snow to stop today, but it never did.  I ran up to City Creek then around to Hogle Zoo before heading home via Wastach and 13th South.  It was a heavy wet snow and my feet were soaked.  I had my winter screw heads in my shoes, so I didn't slip but I was still ankle deep in snow.  There was more traffic then I was expecting, so a very frustrating run.

Shorts are back!  Nice run around Sugar House park and back home.

Intervals on a wet and icy East High track.  4 x 800 with warm up and cool down.  Another runner showed up about 1/2 through my work out with 2 large dogs that would nip and bark at me while I ran.  I asked him to put them in the truck until I completed my work-out.  He did, so no problem; however, no dogs are allowed on high school property--FYI.

Speed work at the East High track.  The track was still in bad shape, but I was able to get in my 7 x 200.

Sugar House Park loop in the dark.  When I got home Elizabeth and Lucas had left for the store, so I was locked out for 45 minutes.  I eventually was able to get into the basement to stay warm!

Run with group around City Creek and up above Hogle Zoo.  I got a little extra distance in by running up the canyon.  There was a tough wind coming out of Emigration, but after the turn around at the top of Kennedy the sun came up and we kept a good pace coming back in.
