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: |

| Well, the good old calf cramp struck again. Got up this morning with the intention of doing 7 miles in the morning, 5 outside and another couple on the treadmill after Lybi went out for her run. However, after only 1 mile, my calf started tightening up again, and I had to stop and stretch it out. The next two miles were quite a bit slower, especially the third. I decided I had had enough and stopped. It was fairly sore even when walking the last 1/2 mile home. Stretched out some more. I think part of the problem may be that my grid tangents have seen their last days - I have probably put somewhere around 500 miles in them. Until I get my email from road runner sports with my free pair of shoes (I will get another pair of progrid guides), I am going to only wear my guides. I am also going to have to take it very easy this week until my calf heals up. Nice slow runs, no faster than 8:30/mile. Lybi has also promised to scrape my leg tonight. |

| AM - 3 miles with Sparky at a nice easy pace - avg 8:38/mile. My calf felt much better this morning. I am going to just take it easy the rest of this week, and all next week on vacation will just be running easy. Once I get back, I am hopeful I will be able to ramp things back up again. I will probably try to get in a couple more miles this evening on the treadmill. |

| PM - ran 4 miles on the treadmill in the evening before going to bed. I wanted to get in a run, because there was a pretty good chance I wouldn't be able to run very much the next day. Average pace 8:30/mile. |

| PM - After an entire day of flying out to Ft. Lauderdale for our family vacation, I ran 3.25 easy miles with my twin brother. He doesn't run much any more, mostly plays basketball, and his knees are kind of bad. Ran at average pace of about 9:10/mile. Very humid. |
