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: |

| PM - ran 1 mile with Samuel in 10:00. We were averaging slightly slower than 10:00/mile, but he started to whine at the very end, so I sped up with him a bit. Then ran 0.65 with Joey in 7:03 - 10:50 pace. He did really well. Ran another 4 miles by myself - average 8:14/mile. Makes a total of 5.65 miles for the day. I'll keep this up the rest of the week and probably do a 7-miler or so on Saturday depending on how I feel. Looking forward to getting my new shoes today - too bad they didn't get here yet for me to run in them today. On a side note, went to the Road Runner Sports store today during lunch, had them do their shoe dog analysis to confirm the type of shoe I should be wearing. Barefoot analysis showed I have normal arches, and tend to overpronate. Then barefoot gait analysis on the treadmill showed I have a pretty normal gait and nice even toe-off, but that my achilles' are a bit too flexible (imagine that!) during heelstrike. Anyways, suspicions confirmed, I ordered the right kind of shoe.

PM - got my new shoes just before I was about to head out the door with Sam, so I took a moment to put them on and work on getting them broken in. Went out with Sam, ran 1 mile with him in 9:52. He had a fairly long segment that he ran without holding my hand, while still keeping the same pace. Then ran 0.65 miles with Joey at 11:00 pace. Lybi's missionary correlation and visits got switched to Tuesday nights, so I will have to take the boys in the double jogging stroller later. PM2 - After getting the boys ready for bed, allowed Sam to stay home and read (with the doors locked, of course), and took the other two boys for a run in the double jogging stroller. 4.15 miles, felt good, no knee pain except for a few occasional twinges. The shoes felt good. Average pace was 8:17/mile.
(Progrid Guide: 5.8 miles)

PM - after dinner, Lybi and I ran with the entire clan - me pushing Adam and Joey in the stroller, with Sam running and Lybi holding Sparky. Sam ran 1 mile in 10:06, about half of which was not holding on to my hand or the jogging stroller. He is doing really well. I think he is going to get that prize pretty soon. Then Joey got out and he did really well too, 0.65 in 7:15. Our boys are definitely getting stronger and faster. Before we know it, Sam will be running too fast for Lybi on her slow runs. After getting the boys to bed, I ran another 4 miles by myself. The run felt good, my legs felt good. I am still having a fairly hard time keeping the pace slow - my legs keep wanting to go faster and I have to really concentrate on running slower. Average pace 8:13/mile. Another mile with Sparky, untimed. (ProGrid Guide - 12.45)

| PM - 1 mile with Samuel in 9:59 (a little bit of whining involved), then 0.65 with Joey in 7:12. Both were with Adam in the jogging stroller and Sparky at my side as well. PM2 - 4.1 easy miles by myself at 8:20 pace. Run felt good, knee felt good, I felt like I was trying to hold myself back deliberately the entire run. |

| AM - Lybi picked up a babysitter early this morning, and for our date, we went for a long run. 8.5 miles together at average pace of 10:21, although for most of the run we were at about 10:40 pace, and picked it up the last mile or so. It was very enjoyable to run with Lybi on multiple levels - we had time to talk, time to spend together, and it was actually relaxing. No knee pain whatsoever. |
