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: |

| Drove all day today from Provo back to Mesa. Set a new record - 10 hours, including stops. Was pretty worn out when we got home, ran with the boys individually. After discussing with Sasha, we decided to take Samuel back down to 1 mile, but have him run faster. I held his hand and helped him to get his legs going. Ran a mile in 10:05. Ran .6 miles with Joseph in 7:18 - 12:00 pace. He did pretty good with that - I will keep him at that pace for now. Then did a little bit with Adam. Celebrated Lybi's birthday today - I'll let her mention what she got if she wants . . . Was too worn out to run any more than what I did. I am going to keep taking it real easy until I get my miles up past 40 again, then will start to incorporate some tempo miles into my schedule. Somebody hold me to that . . . :) |

| Ran 1 mile with Samuel in exactly 10:00. He did much better than yesterday in every aspect. Ran 0.62 miles with Joseph in 7:00 (11:15 pace). He did extremely well also Ran a very short distance with Adam (not recorded). He didn't want to hold my hand and fell flat on his fact about 20 feet before we finished :( Poor little guy . . . Ran another 3 miles by myself (with Sparky) at 8:44 pace. Felt a slight bit of twinging in my knee for about 30 seconds, then it went away, just a very slight achy feeling after that. Otherwise felt good. BTW, while we were at the Pachev's, Josse came over and scraped my knee - got some real good bruising there :) Thanks, Josse! She also showed Lybi how to perform the technique, and we will be ordering our own soon so that Lybi can continue to inflict torture on me :D (j/k - it really wasn't that bad)

| Ran 1 mile with Samuel in 10:15, then 0.65 miles with Joey at 11:15 pace. Then another 3.35 miles on my own at 8:30 pace. Legs felt good, my knee started to get a little tight towards the end, but nothing big. Happy am I! |

| Ran in the afternoon, it was pretty hot out, but it felt good. Good news and bad news about my run: The good news - I got in 5 straight miles without feeling any pain in my knee. The bad news - I could not force myself to run any slower than about 8:15 pace, try as I might. I am okay with this, but would prefer to keep my pace slower to aid healing. Based on this week, I am going to work on getting in 5 miles/day in the coming week, and see how my knee feels. I will keep all the miles slow and easy. Running with my boys definitely helps with this, since I have to run at their pace. |
