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.

Wasatch 100 pacer-- Incredible experience! 5500 of climb and 8000 feet of drop.
I paced Andrea Martinez (6th overall female) from Brighton
to Homestead. She got to the lodge at 2:27 AM (while waiting I ran into
several running friends...cool). Andrea was around 15th female at that
point with a predicated finish time around 30 hours...then, something
happened--it’s like she transformed into the Incredible Hulk! We finished
at 9 AM. She ran those 25 miles in 6 hours and 33 minutes for a total
time of exactly 28 hours! No other female ran this section faster (1st
girl=7:13, 2nd girl=7:32, 3rd girl=7:27, 4th girl=8:03, 5th girl=8:10).
To find someone running faster than 6:33 you had to look at the top male
runners. She was the easy person in the world to pace. Andrea was encouraging
and friendly to all the runners she was passing. Super experience! 24-hours next year!

Run for Hope (3.11 Miles) 00:17:48, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1 | | Run for Hope 5K at Draper Park this morning with some friends. Probably less than 200 people, but its a fun event with cupcakes! The course is out the Porter Rockwell trail, so more EAST/WEST than the NORTH/SOUTH Draper 5K course. The course was a little long, but the entire event was managed very well. Also, nice running shirt! Kids race afterwards with Lucas (5) and Sam (2). They both ran the entire 1K! | | Add Comment |

AM: 10.5 miles. 4 x 1 mile intervals with the group in Sugar House park. Nice to run in the rain!
PM: 4.0 miles. Gym for core. My Little Experiment:
For the last few weeks I've been researching nitrate supplementation. There are a handful of studies out about
the benefits of nitrate (not nitrite) loading (300-450 mg) with many
Olympic athletes trying it in London with the offer of increase performance . Since I'm not thrilled about pill
supplements, red beets offer some of the highest levels obtainable in
vegetables--thus I began my search from some sort of pre-made juice full
of red beets to "load" on before the St. George Marathon. Odawalla
makes a Carrot Beet Ginger drink with 1/1/4 Beets in a 12 oz.
container--that's about 5 oz. of red beet juice with the carrots adding a
small amount of nitrate. So, that's x3 a day of 12 oz. Odawalla drink
beginning next Sunday (6 days of nitrate loading). This may be bogus,
but at the very least the added vegetables are healthy! Comments?
