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.

Jeremy Ranch run with the group.  First 1/2 is always easy, but the second 1/2 is brutal!

Winter work plan going into action this week.  Hopefully, I can develop a little more speed.  Sugar House park run in great weather.

Daybreak area run with the group.  Somehow we missed all the snow around the valley during the run!

Sugar House park loop before the sidewalks freeze!  I believe I run best in 29-34 degree weather--now to find a marathon in that temperature zone.

Tried to run with the group this morning, but my back was really hurting.  Earlier in the week, I played football with the kids on my knees...big mistake!  I'll take a few days off and go see my quack.

No where near 100%, but did a trail run in Georgia while visiting family.  Its cross country course behind the local high school...fun!

12 x 200 at local track.  I did this to gauge my recovery, because I'm running a 2-man 50 mile race next week in St. George.  The effort was there, but the speed was not.  I'll take a few more days off and try again in Salt Lake.

Sugar House park loop.  I feel like my back is about at 75%.  I should be fine (I hope) to run 25 miles at the St. George Expedition race on Saturday.

5 x 800 at East High.  Back continues to improve.  St. George should be a challenge.
