Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

Got a new package on my doorstep this morning. My new pair of Kinvara 3's arrived. I had to test them out on a short run around Liberty Park during my lunch hour.  First lap averaged 7:35 just trying to get a feel for the shoes.  Kept it pretty much the same the second lap until the last .25 or so then kicked it in to see how they did with some speed. AP for that lap 6:67. 

I have been running in my Altra instincts exclusively for the past 2 months or so.  I hope my that with alternating between the two and using the Kinvara's for more of the tempo/speed runs, it will be a good combo.  They did feel really fast so it could be a fun year to try some races in them.  I am thinking about running in them for tomorrows 15 miler.  Hope it is not too soon to go on a longer run with the new shoes.
