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.

Ran the Rancho Penasquitos Canyon (from this day forward it will be known as the PQ Canyon) in the late afternoon.  Ran toward the "Ranch House" and away from the Ocean.  Encountered a rattle snake, a horse, two runners and several bikers.  Also tried the short-cut through the swamp.  I will not do that again--time for new shoes.  Trying to taper for St. George, but I really want to run.  I will see how I feel on Thursday.

Tough hill miles in rocky canyon area.  I got off the main trail which quickly became a deer trail, then a rabbit trail, then nothing.  I had to hike out to another ridge.

Ran the first 8 miles with group around Mission Bay (sub 9 pace).  Decided to run the last 5K at race pace (7:15).  I should be tapering, but it was a nice day to run.  I also wore my race shoes to try them out.  They are 1/2 size bigger.  I put an insert in them hoping my back will feel better during the marathon.
