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.

New month and cleared to run after a very long 90 days.  A short run around Liberty Park that about killed me!  Its going to take a while to get the legs working again.  Funny that my first run back was in snow--weird.

Liberty Park.  There were signs up all over saying "keep out due to weed control," but I couldn't smell anything so I thought they must be spraying later in the morning; however, I could not concentrate today at work and felt very lazy...wait...its Friday...right.
