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. Favorite Blogs: |

| Afternoon - ran with the boys. They had been out playing on their bikes and scooters for quite some time, so I let them go on their bikes/scooters with me as well. Joey first - he did well - we ran about 8:20 pace together, with him on his scooter. Then I ran with Adam on his bike - we did about 0.5 together at about the same pace. Finally, I ran 1.75 with Sam in 12:34, with the last 1/8 of a mile being quite fast, finishing with a strong sprint. The boys enjoyed it; I enjoyed it - we will have to see if we continue doing this or not (them on their bikes instead of running with me). It is certainly more of a workout for me than when I run with them. |

| PM - 3 miles with the boys again. I ran 0.5 with Adam on his bike at about 9:00 pace, then did about 0.75-0.8 with Joey running - he actually ran about 8:40 pace! Then I finished up with about 1.7 miles with Sam on his bike. He pushed me a bit harder, and I broke under 8:00 pace. I ran the entire thing in my aquasocks - I wanted to see if that would help my foot to improve. Felt pretty good. We'll see how that goes. |

| PM - 3 miles with the boys today. They rode their bikes again today (Joey rode his scooter). Joey did the first 1.5 miles with me and then peeled off, and Sam and Adam did all 3 miles, since they were on their bikes. Second half of the run was definitely faster (and harder) than the first half. Ran again in my aquasocks - not too bad, but I could feel a bit of pounding in my forefeet when I started running faster - just not used to running without any cushioning, I think. However, I don't think I have to worry about pounding on my heels. |

| 2.25 miles with the boys. Joey didn't want to run (or take his scooter) so I didn't make him, but Adam and Sam went with me. Adam went with me first and did 0.75 (or so), and then I took Sam for another 1.5 miles on his bike. Ran in the aquasocks. |

| 2.25 miles again. Joey was sick, so I made sure he stayed inside. Adam and Sam both went together with me on their bikes for the first 1.5 miles, then Adam peeled off at our house, and Sam did the last 0.75 with me. He made me run pretty fast. Again in the aquasocks. I am really hoping this will help my foot to feel better. I'm starting to be frustrated about the amount of time it is taking for my foot to heal completely. Maybe I should actually go see a podiatrist . . . |
