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.

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 . . .
