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.

House to Sugar House Park then gym.  Since I despise the gym, I've decided to do less weights at the gym and focus more on core exercises during the week.

Late run in Georgia (work).  Ran through Briscoe Park in Snellville.  It was chilly, but at least the air was clean!

Run with group from Coach Bill's house in Bountiful then up to Hidden Lake via Eagle Drive.  Elevation gain of 1500 feet made for a tough, but rewarding run.  The weather was great.  Skied Snowbird later that day.

No treadmill at hotel, so 30 minutes of boring spin in El Paso (outside weather was 82 degrees today...too bad I had to work).

Treadmill run at hotel in Fredericksburg, Texas.  Town looks runner friendly, so will wake up early and try the roads before driving to Austin.

Run Wednesday morning on the streets of Fredricksburg, Texas.  Temperature was in 50's and got about 6.3 miles in.  Then drove to Austin and worked then drove down to Corpus Christi where I did an evening run on the treadmill in the hotel (6.2 miles).
