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.

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.

Good to have you back. My wife and I have been talking about cancelling cable, too. But I guess now to have regular TV you need those digital box converters or something.

Yeppers - we just decided that we will do without for now. We're keeping our internet, so there are certainly shows we can watch on the internet, and if we decide later on that we reallly want to get the local channels, we can go out and get a converter box. We're also thinking of doing Netflix (again).
