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.

Lunch - 4 miles on the elliptical trainer, which is a progression from the stationary bike last week.  Felt pretty good, just had the bottoms of my toes go numb, but that happens every time I use an elliptical, so I wasn't worried about that.  I'm going to stick with the elliptical the rest of this week and see how my foot feels, and potentially start running again next Monday.

Anything longer than 40 minutes and I would always get a burning sensation at the ball of my right foot when using the elliptical. Sometimes I thought it was hot enough to spontaneously combust :-)
