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 in New Orleans down St. Charles street.  This was a very nice and safe route.  I began close to Canal Street and ran by Lafayette Square, Garden District and turned around at Audubon Park (close to Loyola University).  You can run on the Streetcar tracks (packed dirt).

Run on St. Charles again, but this time with one of the company owners.  I'm afraid we went a little too far for his level.  Good run, at an easy pace.

Long run with group at Torrey State Pines Beach.  It was a nice run and not very difficult.  We keep the pace around 8 minute miles.  I could have gone another 6 easily.  I don't think I've ever felt so "fresh" after running 20 miles...mile 2 felt just like mile 20.  I hope that's a good sign!
