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.

Track workout at East High late at night.  6 x 800 with mile warm up and cool down.  I tried to run these between 2:45-2:55.  I read an article about late in the training season on running 10 x 800 with the last one being close to your marathon time.  They felt pretty easy, but we will see how it goes when I add 4 more.  I know I need to go a long way on my endurance training.

Lucas had swim lesson this morning, so afterwards Elizabeth drove me above Emigration Canyon and dropped me off for my 17 mile run.  The snow was coming down hard and the wind was blowing the first 4 miles, but eased after Little Dell.  I saw one runner and one biker on the route into Salt Lake.  The wind picked up, so it was good head wind training.  No joke, I ran with a goat from mile 9-10.  I believe it was someone's pet.  The sun came out as I approached the zoo and it made for a nice dry run back to the house.  Tough day for a run, I have a couple of blisters from wet shoes and socks from the initial snow downpour.  It may be a tough couple of months getting ready for Tucson in December.
