Personal:

I was married in 1997 to my beautiful wife Lybi (confessions of a piano teacher on the blog), and we have 3 wonderful boys who are just as active as I was when I was little (he he). I grew up in southeastern Michigan, and my family became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when I was 6. I attended BYU, and served a mission in Berlin, Germany. After graduating from BYU with a degree in Health and Human Performance (pre-physical therapy), I promptly changed careers and started working with computers (although no programming for me). We have moved across the country several times, and currently live in Mesa, AZ. I work in computer security for a major nationwide homebuilder.

AM - no running all this week to rehab my calf. Lybi has also graciously volunteered to torture me nightly with scraping and massage . . .

Got out on the bike again and rode 14 miles this morning, average speed of approx. 16 mph, max speed of 18.8 mph. I can relate to Ted - my butt is extremely sore just from two days on the bike. I have also noticed something interesting - my hamstrings and glutes are really getting a workout from the bike, which is something I just do not feel when I get out and run at an easy pace. Only when I run at high intensity do I feel any kind of burn in my hamstrings. I am going to take this as a good sign that I am working muscles that don't normally get used enough during my normal exercise routine. If this is the case, I may actually permanently incorporate some bike riding into my routine to get my hammies some extra workout time that they need.

Dude, fear the scraping. Lybi scraped my dang leg during the reunion for just a few minutes and it was a wicked bruise the next day. I had to limp on that bad boy for a long time. Hope your get gets better.

For some reason, no matter how much scraping or other torture Lybi has inflicted on me, I have not gotten a bruise from it. But it sure is painful . . .
