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.

Another run in North Carolina on the wooded trail.  I did this run on a Sunday.  We buried my father the day before (Saturday).  It was a tough run with a lot of elevation change, but I felt somewhat comforted when I finished.  I look forward to getting back in to my routine once I get back to Salt Lake at the end of the week.

Run at Jordan Rivers Parkway after Lucas' swim class.  Great run for 15 miles then ran out of hydration.   My legs began to cramp like at the end of a marathon and I ended up walking several miles back to my car.  I had a great pace up to mile 15 then it all stopped.  This is probably my second worst run ever.  I should recover quickly and try to do some speed work on Sunday.
