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: |

| OK, so I didn't time any splits today, just my total time, and I realized that after the first mile, I must have really turned it up (oops!). Total time for the 2.6 mile loop was 19:35, for an average of abuot 7:32/mile (I think that's right). Guess I need to work on holding myself back a bit more. Nevertheless, it still felt good to run this morning. The weight is coming off, but slower than I would like. I would like to drop another 8 pounds or so in the next 6 weeks - I hope I can do it. I have been eating healthier, and have only been drinking water at work for a change. |

| My run this morning was interrrupted by both a bathroom break and a stoplight. However, I did not measure my splits again, but rather the total time (minus the above breaks). Total time was 40:21 for a pace per mile of approximately 8:04/mile. At least the pace was slower than yesterday . . . :) |

| I managed to hold back a bit more today for a more relaxed and easier run. Total time: 20:39 for an average pace of about 8:15/mile. I will try to keep this same pace tomorrow on my run. |

| OK, so I just got my new shoes (Saucony Grid Hurricane 8's) and wanted to break them in. They felt good for being a whole 1.5 ounces heavier than my current shoes, but felt much more stable. I ran again today without splits. My run felt good today - I was able to continue to keep my same breathing rhythm throughout, and feel like my cardiovascular fitness is definitely improving. Total time: 39:42 for an average pace of 7:56/mile. Still need to work on holding back. As I will be taking my son to the AP commeration campout this weekend, I will have to do my long run on Saturday evening and hope it cools down enough for me to enjoy it. |

| Well, after not as much sleep as normal due to the Fathers-Sons campout (my son woke me up at 5:30 this morning), I went ahead and did my long run this evening, which is also not what I am used to. I have come to the conclusion that I don't like running in the evening as much as I do in the early morning. It was more difficult for me today and I also ran slower than I had expected. I ran the first 2.5 miles to the track in 20:43, then my first mile at the track was 8:27, and my second mile was also 8:27. I ran the 2.5 miles back home in 21:42. Total time: 59:22, for an average pace per mile of 8:31/mile. In any case, I'm glad I got my run in, and am looking forward to getting back to my normal routine of running early in the morning on Monday. |
