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'm working at Utah State University in Logan today and tomorrow.  I did a quick run in North Logan/Hyde Park in the cool evening weather.

Brighton loops (10) with the running group.  We run intervals of 0.75 miles above 8700 feet.  It is a good, tough work-out.

I was going to do an early morning run this morning, but slept in.  Luckily, it was still fairly cool when I headed out for Sugar House park around 9:30 AM.

Tough morning run on the trails in Mill Creek with JasRo.  It was dark for most of the run and the wind was blowing strong.  It rained the last mile.

Kearns run with group early this mornign (5 AM).  We did a 7.5 mile warm-up out past Bingham High School then ran three 1.75 mile tempos at sub-5K pace before running back to Smiths.  The tempos were fast because we had a nice tail wind.

Another late start to the morning, but I was able to get in 8 miles.  Ran from my house to Sugar House park and back.  It appears I may have seen Allie (blogger) on 1300 E, but I had my head phones in, so I was a little out of it.

Early morning, dark hike up Mill Creek to the Pipeline trail.  Once there was some light, the run was enjoyable.

Long group run up Emigration.  I started from my house and finished there for a few extra miles.  I usually like to do one run a little longer than marathon distance.
