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 got the run in just between rain storms.  I took a short-cut through a dirt trail and became a little bogged down in the mud.  I will be in and out of town for the next two weeks, so its going to be hard to get the mileage in!

Treadmill at 24-Hour Fitness in Napa followed by weights.  I had to run after work, so the only choice was the treadmill at night.  It would have been a nice day to run outside (low 60's).

Another early morning run on the treadmill at 24-HR Fitness followed by weights.  They have a policy of 20-minutes on the treadmill if people are waiting...how can you only run for 20 minutes!  I greatly dislike gyms.

Speed/tempo workout.  1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down with 4 x 1600.  I did the run in the canyon.  I believe Spring has arrived (80 degrees).

Rolling hills in the canyon.  Ran up and down some steep pitches and inclines.  It was a hot day for a run (80's).

My parents are in town, so I missed the group run.  Did the mileage in the canyon on a cloudy day.
