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 - 2.5 easy miles outside. The weather was pretty nice out - I don't think it even broke 100 - so it cooled down a bit in the evening. I decided to run without my inserts today because I don't like how they make my shoes feel like bricks when I have them in. Tried to go nice and easy the entire time, but I still ended up speeding up for the latter portion of the run. Average pace was about 8:10/mile. |

| PM - ran outside again. I took a different route today to spice things up. After starting off slower than I thought (unless my Garmin was just acting up), I started to pick up that pace after 1/4 mile. First mile ended up being about 8:18. Second mile was faster, about 7:58 (if memory serves me right). Then I decided to pick up the pace, and ran the next 1/2 mile at 6:46 pace. After a short break, I finished the run at a nice easy pace for the last 1/2 mile. Average pace for the run was 7:51/mile. I ran without my inserts again, and it felt much better than with them in - at least from the perspective of not feeling like I was running in a pair of bricks. I will keep wearing my inserts during the day, but I think I am going to continue to not wear them for running. |

| I ended up not running tonight - my wife had Roundtable and didn't get home until after 9:30 - but I did get in an Ab Ripper X workout. I have decided that I need to start doing this to work on my core. |

| AM - 5 extremely enjoyable miles with Burt, MarathonDreamer and her husband (was it Mark?), and pedsendodoc (Jef MC's dad). I gotta do this more often. It was a total blast to run with other people. We started off nice and easy, around 9:30 pace, and gradually picked the pace up. Every mile I ran was faster than the previous, and then with a 1/2 mile left, I picked it up. Total time was something like 44:34, average pace of 8:55/mile. I am definitely going to plan on doing this again. |
