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.

I wanted to escape the inversion today, so I ran up Emigration.  Unfortunately, the wind was blowing up the canyon so the air quality was just as bad.  Solid solo run effort today.  I hope to get in one more long run before the marathon taper begins.

Great run in warm Corpus Christi along the water front downtown.  It has been several months since I have run to the smell of fresh cut grass!  It was in the lower 60's and overcast, so most of the natives were bundled up in heavy coats and gloves.  I was very comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt.  Legs felt pretty good considering 22 miles yesterday and a long plane ride this morning.

I'm in Austin today and the temperature is about 55 degrees.  I had to work late, so I was forced to the dreadmill for a slow 6.

10 x 800 at East High before the bad air blew up on to the track.  I had to run slow and careful on the track due to ice.  I felt pretty beat up after the workout, so I may be adding on too much mileage this last month.  I have a 24/25 miler planned for Saturday, but may move it to next week.

I ran from my house up to mouth of Emigration canyon to meet up with the group.  They were running 19 miles, so with my additional mileage I would get my last long pre-marathon run in.  It was warm and sunny up the canyon.  The 24-miler was easier than my previous 20 and 22 run solo.  Finished the run, played some Candy Land with Lucas, took a shower, ate an entire pizza and honey bun then went grocery shopping.  I'm sure fatigue will hit me soon.
