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.

Run from house to Sugar House park then gym for more upper body. 

This may sound odd, but this is my 4th trip the gym and I've already gained 4 pounds.  I try to do light weights with high reps to keep the mass down (lol).  Hopefully, some long runs will bring the weight back down.  I was 158 last week and today I'm 162 (both measured on the gym's scale).  Two winters ago, I incorporate the gym into my workouts and topped out at 185.  I need to stay below 165 this year.

Run from House to City Creek and then through downtown.  I was supposed to meet up with a running group early this morning, but a 7 AM start is pretty early on a cold, dark winter mornings.  I wish they would start at 8 AM, so the sun would be up.
