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.

Long run up Emigration from my house.  10 miles up almost takes me to the summit.  It was dark and icy the last 10K, so it was pretty challenging.  My foot was hurting this morning from speed work in my Sacouny.  I am done with Saucony forever!

Standard run from House to Sugar House park.  I found a cell phone on on the run and called someone identified as "Dad."  "Dad" came and picked up the phone at my house.

My foot feels better today from running in the Filas.  The mileage is getting high on these, so its time to buy some new shoes.

I was planning on running some 800s at the track, but ran out of time so I did a night run to Sugar House Park.

Tempo work at East High school on a solid sheet of ice around the entire track.  I wore my winter screw shoes and they held up well.  I could not run very fast, but I felt like I had secure footing.

Speed work at East High.  The inside lane was all ice thanks to my runs earlier in the week, so I pulled the Rocky IV snow training scene and ran 7 x 200 in 6-inch snow in the outside lanes.  I had my hex-screw shoes on, so I did not slip.  It was hard work and slow, but hopefully beneficial.
