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 1 mile outside with Sparky while I was waiting for Sam to change into his running clothes, then another 1.5 miles with Sam and Sparky. Another 0.6 miles with Joseph to finish off the day. I am going to take it easy this week - 3-4 miles/day, with maybe 5 miles on Saturday. No pain in the piriformis, but a little bit of a niggle by the back outside of my right knee. |

| PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel, a little easier today, average 10:30 pace. Then another 0.8 miles with Joseph at 11:18 pace, and another 0.2 miles with Adam at around 14:30 pace. Sparky ran with both Samuel and Adam. Didn't get a chance to run more because Lybi hurt her back yesterday and needed me to help out more with the kids. |

Ran 4.25 miles durng lunch today. I had finally registered at our local fitness center in our building so that I can take advantage of their facilities and shower after I run, so today was the first day of using it. I ran up Priest Drive/Galvin Parkway to McDowell, then left on McDowell until I hit 17:00. Averaged 8:00/mile up to the turnaround. Turned around and ran the second half in 15:10, but it was all downhill. 7:08 average coming back, but I am not counting this as MP effort because it did not feel hard due to the downhill. It was kind of warm out - I am really hoping that the temperature will finally cool down to where it is supposed to be soon. Course was Lunch Run. Other than the warm weather, it was quite nice to get out and run during my lunch hour, and I think this is really going to help me finally shed those unwanted pounds while not having to wake up at an insanely early hour to go out and run (not to mention having to run in the dark, which I don't like doing). Another 2.5 miles planned this afternoon with the boys.
PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel - he got his smoothie today, and did a marvelous job. I worked real hard to keep him from taking off at the beginning so that he could run even splits, and he did very good with that. Total time 14:41, average pace of 9:53/mile. Another 0.86 miles with Joseph, averaged about 11:30 pace. |

| Ran again during lunch - I am really loving this, although I need to start taking the Garmin with me so that I can get a better idea of my pace. I thought I was running slower when in all actuality I ended up running dang close to MP miles. Course was a new one, I will cal it Lunch Run 2. It ended up being longer than I thought it was. I thought it was about 4.5 miles, it was really just a tick short of 5 miles. Total time was 35:22, average of 7:08/mile. Oops! That was not planned for. Guess I better count these as MP miles. At least one good thing about the run was that it felt fairly easy. The weather was a little cooler than yesterday, and there was a wind blowing to help keep me cool. Did not have a chance to run with the boys in the afternoon, as Lybi headed out quickly after I got home to go see Twilight with her sister, Laura. |
