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: |

| Ran 1.5 miles with the boys, nice and slow, then took Sparky out for a leisurely 2 miles. Knee started to tighten up at about 1.5 miles, never got real painful, but enough that I knew it was there. |

| Ran 1.5 miles with the boys again. Adam finally seems to be over his bronchitis, but I still did not take him out. Took Sparky with us instead. Did not time the run, just focused on enjoying the time with my boys. After dinner, ran another 2.5 miles, shod. Knee started to tighten up at about 2 miles, I could feel it the rest of the way in, but it wasn't super sore. I am going to attack my leg with the stick again (I did that last night) and see if I can manage to work out the tightness. |

Ran 2 miles with the boys and Sparky, 0.5 with Joey and then 1.5 with Sam. Then after dinner, ran 2 miles at a nice easy pace. Abductors started to get tight about 1.5 miles in, and my knee started to get a little tight at 1.75 miles, but not as bad as yesterday, which was not as bad as the day before. When I got back, Lybi totally found the trigger point for my tight abductor - seems to totally be the gluteus minimus - very deep, right up against the bone. She hit the pressure point, and I bent my leg up to try and loosen it up. Wowsers, did that hurt, but in a good way. I am hopeful that it will continue to improve. On a side note, the boys and I got to watch the space shuttle land live on nasatv.com - Samuel thought it was very cool. |

| Ran 4 miles - 1.5 with Sam and then another 2.5 with Joey and Adam in the jogging stroller. Felt pretty good - kept the pace nice and easy. My knee only started to tighten up a bit the lasr 1/2 mile, but not too bad. |

| Went with the boys to a ward activity at 1:00 - "Ward's Strongest Saint". I didn't realize until we got there that it was outside. Lots of fun activities, most around the theme of the "World's Strongest Man" competition. Got a pretty good workout, am sure to be sore tomorrow. I also got myself sunburned. As soon as we got back, Lybi and I headed off to REI to see if we could get her to try on some of the Vibram Five Fingers, but unfortunately they did not stock them, although they had them online. And the only store in the area that does have them is not open on Saturdays. After dinner, we played some games with the boys, then after we got them to bed, I got the chance to go out for a little run. No big expectations, just going on feel. I was pretty tired anyways from the long day. Ended up doing 3 miles total, knee started to tighten up around mile 2.5. Not a very high-mileage week, but I'll take it. |
