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: |

| Lunch - ran outside today. I didn't get a chance to run yesterday because I was taking a test during my lunch hour (thankfully I passed). It was beautiful out today, right around 80 degrees out when I headed out the door. I ended up running a little bit faster than I intended, but it was still slower than 8:00 pace (barely), which is good. I also ordered a new pair of shoes last Friday, and they should be here on Wednesday. Anyone ever worn the Saucony Grid C2 Flash shoes? I got tired of paying 80-90 bucks or more for running shoes, so I got these ones for under 60 bucks, and with Bing cashback, they are closer to 50. Depending on how they feel, they may be my new running shoe. They are actually less than an ounce heavier than my current Grid Tangent 3's, so I am happy about that. |

| Lunch - 4.6 miles outside at about 8:25 pace. It was a little warmer than yesterday, but overall not too bad. I will probably be running on the treadmill tomorrow, however, since it is supposed to crack 100 again (only second time this year!). My shoes are supposed to arrive today, which will be nice - I can tell that my tangents have pretty much lost what shock absorption they had. |

| Lunch - I ran inside on the treadmill today because it was supposed to break 100, plus I have a little bit of sunburn that I need to let heal. Since treadmill runs are so boring, and I didn't bring my mp3 player, I livened things up by switching speeds around a bit. Started off at 8:30 pace for the first mile. After about 0.5, I was starting to feel some discomfort in my arches, due to the new shoes, but at 1 mile when I cranked up the speed (only to 8:00 pace), the pain went almost completely away. At the 2 mile mark, I bumped up to 7:30 pace and held that for a mile, then for the 4th mile, I dropped back down to 8:00 pace. At the 4 mile mark, I decided to throw in a quarter mile surge at 6:00 pace. It felt good - much better than it did last time in my tangents. I think the improved cushioning from wearing a new shoe helped. Cooled down after the run for a couple minutes. Noticed as I was changing that I have a hot spot on the outside (medial side) of each of my big toes from the new shoes. Hopefully they don't turn into blisters. |
