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.

Lunch - another 14.4 miles on the bike in the fitness center. Got my HR up to 163 today at the end, but I was also going at about 110 rpm . . . legs were burning good at the end. Then I did core again until my abs were burning big time. I hope that I can still maintain some semblance of fitness this next week while I wait to see what is going on with my foot. Been icing it, and started rubbing hydrocortisone cream on it at night to help with any inflammation, since I can't handle motrin. This injury is really baffling me. I don't wear my running shoes tight, but at the same time, there doesn't appear to be major tenderness to the touch at the location that is painful.

Yikes. Hope it's nothing too bad.

I was initially kind of worried, but it seems now that I must just have sprained my foot. There is no tenderness to the touch (indicative of a stress fracture), and it seems to be getting better. Biking the rest of this week, and I think that I may be able to resume easy running. I am guessing I must just have done something at the race to aggravate it.
