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 - slept in a little because I didn't get to bed early enough, just had time to run with Sparky this morning. 3.5 miles in 29:20, average pace of 8:25/mile. My right calf was a bit sore this morning, but after about 1/2 mile, it loosened up. I will try to get it massaged tonight.

PM - ran 1 mile with Samuel in 10:01 - he did extremely well tonight. Lybi joined us (unshod), and I think that helped him out a bit. Then ran 0.65 with Joey in 7:00 flat, also with Lybi. Had family scripture study, then helped get the boys to bed and ran another 2.5 by myself at 8:00 pace. Legs are still a little sore. My shin muscles are also sore, I think from Webelos scouts yesterday where the boys were finishing with their fitness pin and one of the exercises was the standing broad jump. Me being the competitive person I am, I decided to jump with them. I did something like 8'8" or something a bit more, but I'm pretty sure I gave my shin muscles a good workout they were not used to. Should go away within a couple of days, with massage helping.

That's a long standing broad jump! I didn't know your shins were bugging. You are just not one to complain.
