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.

Shake out run to Sugar House park this morning.  My body is sore from the flu shot on Sunday and the Alta 5 mile race on Saturday.  I felt good at the end of the run, so hopefully I'm on the road to a quick recovery before the TOU marathon on Saturday. 

I  have to work in St George this week so I plan to run some of the marathon route in prep for the race in a few weeks.  The times I have run the race, I never can seem to remember the last few miles, so this week should be informative. 

One more weird thing, I really only talk to Sasha at races, but I had a dream last night that he came over to my house with his family...maybe this is a good omen? :)

The flu shot / Peruvian dash combo is the ultimate test for the body! :-)

It may appear that my marathon tapering plan is not working; however, at least it is a tapering plan-just not a very good one!
