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.

Started easy again with a 1/2 mile warmup, ran the first mile in 8:26, second mile in 7:40, third mile in 7:15, fourth mile in 7:45. I felt OK during the run, but it wasn't until the fourth mile that I felt like I really had a rhythm that felt good. We'll see how Saturday goes - looking to run 6 miles. Total time: 36:56.

Welcome to the blog! and good luck with your training for the St. George Marathon. There are four of us on the fastrunning blog that live here in the St. George area and will be training hard for the marathon this fall. As a running club (www.stgeorgerunningclub.com) we are getting ready right now to go out and run Boston in a few weeks, we'll have to let you know how it turns out.
