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.

I did a short run on the "challenging" section of the Tucson marathon.  I have not run for over 8 days, due to a nasty cold so I wanted to get out and stretch.  I ran the "biosphere 2" section which is an out and back.  Mile 1 and 2 were very difficult as my legs and lungs began to function again (I think I left a lung back in Salt Lake).  The last mile I ran at race pace and felt pretty relaxed. 

I think my cold will be a factor tomorrow, but there is not much I can do about it at this point.  I hope to give it a good effort tomorrow.
