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.

| | "Rediscovered" the blog this week. I've always enjoyed reading the race reports, but stopped logging miles several years ago. Time to start again!
Liberty Park run today.
This is my normal, weekday lunch time route. I usually do this run in less than 38 minutes and treat it as a recovery run from harder speed workouts. Normally see familiar faces in the park, but with a storm moving in there were few runners out.

| | Another wet lunch time run around Liberty Park, but better than ice and snow! Retiring some Nike shoes after this run because right foot and right knee are having some issues.

| | Warm up before meeting the track club at Tanner Park for 7 miles, then did an unplanned progression run with Neil, Sandy, April and Janel for that last 7+. Tried the Maurten gel at mile 7.0 and stomach felt fine. I plan to do future test runs with it.

| | Surprised to find no snow on the East High track, so plans changed from 5x200 to a 1 mile time trial (5:09).

| | Olympic Oval run due to the snow storm. 3x800 @ 2:40 pace which at the Oval turns into 3x884 @ 2:57. Surprised to find the track not very busy.

| | I went to the Olympic Oval to run some 200's inside as a primer for the 5K race on Saturday. Goal was 36 seconds average for 6. Stayed below pace for 5, but decided to "try" for the last one and ran a 30. I'll take that in the winter!

| | Race: |
Salt Lake Track Club Winter 5K (3.11 Miles) 00:17:33, Place overall: 11, Place in age division: 1 | | Track Club's 5K at Saltair. Typically, I'm around 18 minutes for this Winter race. I was a little faster today mainly due to better weather and no running break at Christmas time. I was 4th master, but ran the race thinking I was 3rd. So many old fast guys! I'll have to try harder at the 10K in a couple of weeks. Course PR for me today.
