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.

4 x 200 with warm up at the track at Bozeman High School. I spent most of my time driving to Billings today for work.  Later in the week, I have to work at the University.  My plan is to take it easy again before the TOU-Half.

3 x 200 at Montana State University track.  There was a guy training for the decathlon by throwing the javelin.  It was pretty interesting.  His coach, who looked to be 80 years old, was video taping him.  It made me wonder how many people still participate in this event.  The only time I hear about it is during the Olympics.  Anyway, it was fun to keep a watchful eye out while I ran.

I was supposed to just do 1 mile, but seemed like a waste since I was waking up early to get this run in.  Did a 2 x 200 with warm up and cool down at East High track.  I hope I well rested for the 1/2 marathon on Saturday.

I planned on running the Top of Utah half today, but on Friday I had to fly to Asheville, NC due to my mother's illness (she's doing much better now).  Late on Saturday, I ran around the Biltmore House Estate until a security guard told me no runners allowed...really?  He said I could cycle if I bought a ticket...really?  I turned around and ran back to the hospital.
