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.

Ran in the canyon today.  The marine layer moved in quickly, so it was dark by 5 PM.  This made it challenging to get back home.  I had to look out for rocks, holes andbe  careful crossing the river. 

 
It was probably in the upper 50's when I finished. 

I still had a little soreness from the long run on Saturday, so I didn't push it too hard.

Easy run in the PQ canyon.  Ran up toward the multi-million dollars home.  There are some good hills in that area and very little traffic.

I've committed to the Boston marathon.  I've arranged a hotel, airfare and entry.  Hope to see some of you guys there!

Easy run before Thanskgiving dinner.  Took several small "side" trails with heavy brush.  

I need to work on my early pacing.  It always seems to take me 2-3 miles before I hit my stride and pick up my pace.

This was a nice run through Carlsbad.  We started at a park and ran down to the ocean.  There were some nice hills.  I started a little slow, but caught back up the leaders about half-way through.  Pretty small group due to the holidays.  The guy I finished with was telling me he runs "all out" on Saturdays.  He is a 3:30 marathoner, but hopes to get faster with these sub 7:00/mile runs.  I'm not sure how much the strenuous pace is helping him, but he seems to enjoy it... plus it gives me someone to run with or catch-up to.
