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 haven't been running as of late due to a recurrence in a slight calf strain on my right leg, but I have been working out so as to lose weight while I am not running, and hopefully when I start up again, it will be easier and less stress on my legs. I am going to give it another week or so and will then start up again. |

| Well, even though I planned on waiting a bit longer, I ended up going out for a run tonight. It has finally cooled off quite a bit here, and the weather was just beautiful. I just ran around our subdivision twice. I have already noticed a difference in how easy it is to run, after having dropped about 10 pounds so far. This run felt very good to my legs, but was a little bit harder on my lungs (I have been dealing with a cough ever since we got back from our ward pioneer handcart trek re-enactment that we had the privilege of taking part in). Average pace was 7:30/mile. I will bill this as a progressive run, as each mile was faster than the previous one. Still felt good, though. |

| 3 more miles outside tonight - another beautiful night, probably in the 60's. I took it easier today except for the last 1/4 mile or so. Everything else was around 8:00 pace, but I picked it up at the end. Felt very good, the weight is continuing to drop off (maybe my eating habits have actually improved, and maybe it has taken a while for all the effects of the pop to clear my system). |

| PM - 5 miles outside - beautiful weather. This ended up being another progressive run without meaning to. First mile was 8:13 - felt good, nice and easy. Second mile was 7:48, still felt good. Third mile was 7:38, could tell that I was picking it up. Fourth mile was (if I recall correctly) 7:14 or so. Took a little walking break and then cooled down on the last mile, 8:38 or so. No residual soreness, legs feeling good, I feel like I have some more pop in my legs simply due to weighing less (finally!) Gonna continue to work on that to get back down to my goal weight. |

| Another unintended progressive run this evening - just 3 miles. Started out nice and easy, 8:15 for the first mile. Second mile was 7:40, and the third mile was 7:05 or so. Average for the entire run was 7:40/mile |
