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.

A short adventure run today from my house over to Jordan River Parkway then north to Gateway, east across the city and down to Liberty Park for a lap then back to the house.  The JRP is still a little rough from 1700 South up to about 800 South, but the City has really cleaned up the North section.

Early morning miles from house to Sugar House Park.  I was surprise at how sore I was from the little 13 mile run on Sunday, so it was a slow run.

I'm working in Steamboat Springs today, so I did an early morning run along the Yampa River.  The paved trail was not very long, so I ventured into the mud and ran a trail connecting all the sulfur springs.  It was a pretty nice run minus the mud.  At each spring they had some historical information.  FYI: the town is named after a spring that apparently sounds like a steam boat.

Good interval work-out at East High school.  Luckily, the track only had a few people on it tonight.  Ran 6 x 800 with warm up and cool down.

Kearns run with the group.  I drove the SAG, so it was tough getting miles in, but I was able to run the 3 x 1600 tempos.  Ran two with Craig at a 5 minute/mile pace (downhill), then one uphill at about 6 minute pace.  Tried new shoes today and they felt fine while running, but a few hours later my heel started hurting.
