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.

7 x 200 at East High track with 2 mile warm up and cool down.  Some of the snow on the track was melted, so I could run them at a good clip.  I went to the pool with Lucas earlier and the day and tested my legs.  Luckily, I had very little soreness from the long run yesterday.

Light snow this morning, so it made for a slippery run.  Ran to Sugar House Park from my house with an extra loop by East High school.

Quality track work out at East High School.  I ran 10 x 800 on a wet and slushy track to find my predicted marathon time.  I'm usually +/-5 minutes on these 800 times based against my marathon times.  I averaged a 2:48 x800s, so a 2:50 marathon should be a realistic goal.  These last two weeks have been some high mileage and my legs were finished after the 10th 800, but I still did a decent 2 mile cool down.

I ran 14 miles with Ester and Shelah up near the Capital and City Creek.  I left my car remote sitting on top of my car and I heard it fall off around State and 5th South, so I had to pull over and run around to find it.  The temperature and air was nice this morning, but it began to snow heavy near the finish.
