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: |

AM - no running, slept in on account of staying up too late to read one of my birthday presents - the latest book in the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini called Brisingr. Very enjoyable read. Hard to put down.
PM - 4 easy miles. Never felt taxed, felt easy on the legs and lungs the entire time. I felt like I was just loping along (which is probably good). Ended up averaging 8:05/mile, perfectly acceptable for recovery miles after a long run on Saturday. I have decided that even with the mileage goal I have this week, I am not going to be too fussed if something happens to mess that up - these next two weeks are technically my taper weeks, so I want to be able to have fresh legs for St. George. |

| PM - another 4 miles this evening. Didn't have time for more because Lybi had her missionary splits and it took a long time to put the boys down. 3 easy miles, last mile at MP. Total time was 30:13, average pace of 7:33/mile. Felt good, but I was a bit bummed I didn't get to do all 6 miles. Better 4 than none, though. |

AM - 2 easy miles with Sparky, untimed. Legs felt good, no lingering soreness from the long run on Saturday. Not much else to say. I am sincerely hoping I will be able to get in some more miles today - I have webelos scouts at 7, and then I have work I have to do immediately afterwards which will take quite a bit of time. I may have to bite the bullet and do some running as soon as I get home from work.
PM - 1.25 miles (so far) running from home to the church for webelos scouts. Did not get a chance to run back home as I had to stay and help clean the building, which put me off my schedule for my work I have to do tonight. I am hoping I will still be able to get in a few miles. |

| AM - 2 easy miles with Sparky, average pace 8:20/mile, then another 4 easy miles by myself. First two miles by myself were average pace of 7:48/mile, second two miles were average pace of 7:31/mile. Everything felt good, it felt good to get out and get the miles in. After a really late night of work last night, I slept in a bit and did my run when I got up, and went to work late. |

| PM - 4 miles by myself. Warmed up the first mile, but the legs were feeling fresh, and the first mile was 7:30. Then the horses started neighing, so I let them out - next mile about 6:45. Was planning on easing up the third mile, but it ended up being just a touch under 7 minutes, and the last mile was right about 6:50. Average pace for the 4 mile run was 7:00/mile. Then I took Sparky out for 2 easy miles in the aquasocks, untimed, but it felt very easy. I wore my new Nike DriFIT RaceDay shorts, which I loved. They felt very good. I am considering trying to scrape off the Nike swoosh before SGM so that it doesn't look like I am wearning gear from different manufacturers (vain, isn't it?) |
