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've been a slacker with this log book, so I'm going to try and update it this week.  I made a commitment to run the Ragnar Northwest Passage relay over the weekend and I need to try and build up some speed so as not to embarrass myself. 

Elizabeth and I are spending the weekend at Red Mt. Spa in St. George.  Today, I ran Snow Canyon.  St. George is a great place to run.  I really couldn't feel the elevation change from sea level in San Diego, but the humidity was a lot lower making the running easier.

Run through PQ canyon.  First 5 miles were nice.  It was cool and cloudy, but then the sun came out and it was a struggle back in the heat/humidity.  

Received our initial "legs" for the NW Passage relay from Paul.  I'm going to try and get a 10K race in before the relay, so I can work on my speed.

1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down with 4 mile tempo.  Ran with group at Lake Miramar.  There are a few 3:00 hour marathoners that push the pace.  Nice run even with the heat.

Night run because it was so hot during the day.  No moon light, so I had to go slow through the canyon.
