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.

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

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!

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.
