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 3 miles outside at about 9 pm. It had cooled down some, but it was still pretty warm. Started off nice and easy, around 8:30 pace, and slowly increased the pace over the course of the run. I don't recall the first mile split, but the second mile was 7:58, and the last mile was 7:16. I felt the effort much more in my lungs than in my legs. I take that as a good sign. |

| AM - I got to bed on time last night, and didn't get a chance to run yesterday, so I got up early to run this morning. We had a nice storm last night, so I was hoping that it would be cooler, and it was, but it was also still pretty humid (at least for Arizona). As usual, I started off pretty easy, and slowly picked up the pace. First mile was 8:17, second mile was 8:03, and the last mile was 7:56. Felt good throughout. |

| PM - After raining (again!) this afternoon, it was a bit cooler out this evening, but again more humid than we Arizonans are used to. Started off nice and easy, first mile in 8:25. I was having a hard time getting into a rhythm today, and I was struggling during the entire run to get things going. During the first mile, my lower back also started to tighten up. Second mile in 8:05. I could feel that I was pushing it a little bit more on this mile but was determined to get through the run. Last mile in 7:43. I wanted this to be over, so I finished pretty strong. Cooled down afterwards. Now it's time to get some sore muscles rubbed by an ever-so wonderful wife and then go to bed. |

| PM - I ran 4 miles outside this evening. It was beautiful out. Cloudy all day, and I don't think it ever broke 100 - it may not have even broke 90! Started off nice and easy again, first mile was 8:31. Second mile had a bit of gentle downhill, and I kind of got into a groove, so it was a bit faster - 8:14. Turned around, and was originally taking it easy, but towards the end, I started pushing it a little. Third mile was 8:18. I really pushed it on the last mile. My legs were fine, but my lungs were burning at the end. The last mile was 7:13. Overall, 32:20, average pace of 8:05/mile. |
