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: |

| I'm back! At least, in one sense. I'm not going to start running on my own for a little while yet, but I decided today it was time to start running with the boys again. Lybi and I made the decision to cancel our cable TV today, so we needed something we could do with the boys, and they always have too much energy. 1.5 miles with Sam, then about 0.85 with Joey and about 0.15 with Adam (maybe more, but I'm not counting). Joey really tired me out - he ran his portion at about 9:08 pace! I feel really good about this, and it should help me to lose all the weight I have gained since injuring my foot, while keeping me from running too fast and hopefully keeing me from getting injured again. |

| Ran with the boys again this afternoon. Sam's legs were a little sore, so we shortened his run today, and he actually ran quite a bit faster. Both Sam and Joey ran about 0.85 miles, and Adam ran around 0.25, so I will call it 2 miles. My legs are a little bit sore too . . . |

| 2 more miles with the boys this afternoon. Sam went first, he did fairly good, although not as fast as yesterday. Then I ran with Joey - the little punk kept speeding up! He has very good running form, and he is very slender - I think that he will probably be a good runner as he gets older. Then I ran with Adam. |

| Huh. I thought I had blogged this, but I guess not. 2 more miles today with the boys separately. Sam did good, but Joey kicked butt. He is a speedy little runner when he puts his mind to it, and very competitive. All I have to do is run just behind and to the side of him where he can see me. I just checked out his time - he averaged 8:30 pace for his entire 0.85 mile run. Of course, the distance might be a little bit off, but still - he was rocking for a 7-yr old. I wonder what would happen if he squared off against Sasha's daughter Julia . . . |

| Same old, same old. 2 more miles with the boys. I'm glad I'm doing this and glad I'm taking it slow. Starting next week, I WILL get to bed on time and start doing P90X with Lybi in the morning. She's a sweetheart for being willing to do it with me, and hopefully she will help me to get to bed on time, because honestly, I think that she is more motivated than me right now. My biggest motivation right now is getting through my master's program as quickly as possible, and exercise kind of takes a lower priority. So I will need her to help me to stay well-rounded and not get too one-dimensional in terms of my studies. |

| Approximately 1.5 miles with Samuel to the store and back to pick up a few needed items. |

| 1.5 miles with Samuel, then 0.8 miles with Joey and about 0.2 miles with Adam (may have been more, but I'm not counting). Good times. They all did pretty well, but today was more of an easy run day for them. |

| 2.5 miles with my boys in the afternoon. Adam is starting to do better with his runs - I think he likes it when I pretend to be gasping for air because he is running too fast for me :) Sam has been complaining of his tummy not feeling well - oddly enough, it seems to flare up right when I announce we are going for a run :o Joseph is just a little running machine. His legs are like little pistons. I ought to take some video of him running - he really has good form, especially for a 7-year old. |

| 2.3 miles today. I didn't get to run with Adam because it was time for dinner and I had Elders Quorom visits after dinner :( He was pretty bummed about that. I ran first with Joey, and he did quite well, but was whining towards the end about not feeling good - I told him to slow down, and he just seemed to not be able to. That child! Sam had been coughing all day, and I gave him a reprieve by allowing him to take his razor scooter with me while I ran. Probably a mistake on my part, as it resulted in me running significantly faster than I normally do with him - sub-8 minute pace. Haven't done that for a while . . . |

| 2.5 more miles today, mostly with the boys. Ran with Joey first, he did much better today - no whining, even though he ran faster. Adam did well too. Sam was still not feeling well, so I let him ride his bike with me today - another bad idea. He actually peeled off after the first loop, and I finished by myself. I ran way too fast :o Even if I calculate that my 1.5 mile loop is really more like 1.45 miles, I still ran about 7:20 pace for the entire run, including the portion I ran with Sam on his bike, which I know wasn't that fast. I didn't look at my watch until I was finished, but I ended breathing quite hard. Finished up the night doing my P90X workout - shoulders & arms, plus Ab Ripper X. On Ab Ripper, I am almost back to where I can do all 25 reps of each exercise. |
