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 run

PM - ran 7.5 miles on the treadmill, watched the rest of The Count of Monte Cristo. Good flick, although it doesn't quite follow the book, at least not in the ending, and it is much less complicated than the book is. First mile warmup at 8:30 pace, then 6.5 miles at 8:00 pace. Total time of 60:38, average pace of 8:05/mile. The run felt good. I will endeavor to run tomorrow morning, as the chance of my running in the evening is slim to none - two Christmas parties - first Lybi's piano party, then a company Christmas party.

You guys are gonna run that treadmill into the ground!!! ;o) What a great goal that would be, huh!?!? I do love the Count of Monte Cristo. I've never read the book, though. A Pulte Christmas party - how weird that this is the first time in 11 years that we aren't there. Hmmm. Weird.

So are you running on the treadmill because of the "cold" weather also? That's Lybi's excuse. *snicker, snicker*

Weeeelll, actually, I was running on the treadmill because Lybi was out doing ward missionary visits. But I admit it, I am a wimp. My blood has thinned sufficiently so that running in 40-degree weather is now akin to torture for me.
