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.

| | Perfect running weather today. Run from house to Sugar House Park. | | Add Comment |
| | Yet another great Fall day for running. I ran from the house to the Brickyard smoke stack and back. Earlier in the week I signed up for the Striders Winter series. Its hard to be motivated in January and February, so maybe the series will help! | | Add Comment |
| | Cold, windy blizzard run on Wasatch Blvd this morning. Glad to get that one over with. Hosting a 5 year old's birthday party later today with 20 kids. Wish me luck! | | Comments(1) |
| | Long tough work week in Northern CA this week, so no running. Was able to get a run in today now that I'm home. Quick afternoon run to Sugar House park. I plan on running Emigration on Saturday with the running group probably in the snow again. | | Add Comment |
| | Wet, cold and windy run up and down Emigration canyon this morning. What happened to Fall? It feels like the middle of Winter. | | Add Comment |
| | Run around Liberty park with the wife and kids. It was cold, but the sun was out. My 5 year old rode his bike while we all tried to keep up. | | Add Comment |
| | It was way to cold to run outside Monday and Tuesday because I was working in Bozeman. I got a quick run in today around Sugar House park before flying down to Phoenix. The running weather was perfect in Salt Lake, although we are supposed to get a storm Friday night. I hope to get some miles in while working in Arizona. Tonight was the USATF-Utah LDR circuit dinner. It stinks that I missed it since I won some $ for 5th overall!

| | Late evening run in Tucson. I was able to get in several miles before the trail became too dark. Its great to be running in 70 degree weather! | | Add Comment |
| | Ran today on a trail in Tucson and I'm so glad I did! First, there was a fire alarm in the hotel at 4 AM. The hotel staff woke EVERYONE up and made them leave the building...false alarm of course (I debated about asking for a refund, but reconsidered thinking they were just trying to help). So, no mood to run; however, once on the trail and a couple miles into the run I was passed by Abdi Abdirhman and his coach (on a bike). The guy was flying! About 1 mile from my finish at the out/back he came by again. His coach was stopped reading splits and I heard 5:04 mile pace. I guess he was doing 10-12 miles based on my 7:00 pace and the trail length. Here is a link to his web page. He has run a 2:08 marathon and 27:16 10K. The other cool thing was he said "hello" each time. Runners are a friendly bunch. http://www.blackcactusrunning.com/
