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.

Run on the Del Mar Mesa.  Had some hip flexor pain.  I may need to reduce some mileage until fully recovered from Boston.

Long run down the coast from Oceanside to Del Mar.  The last few miles were pretty tough.  I didn't have much spring in my step.  I will probably pass on the San Diego marathon on June 1 and look for shorter races. Maybe, I can get more speed during the summer before a Fall marathon.

Finally recovered from the flu.  I've decided my next marathon will be Tucson in December.  I'll probably start full training in July.

Half the mileage was in the canyon (dirt) and the other half on the road with some rolling hills.  Fast pace at the finish.
