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: |

| Lunch - 4 miles on the treadmill. I did a pyramid of sorts - starting out with 1/4 mile at 8:00 pace, then 1/2 mile at 7:30 pace, 1/2 mile at 7:00 pace, 1/2 mile at 6:40 pace, then 1/2 mile at 6:20 pace and then back down. Felt good, but I have noticed a slight amount of tenderness in my shins that I will have to keep an eye on. |

| PM - 6 miles outside, average pace 8:00/mile. Ugh. I don't remember the last time I felt so awful on a run. My parents flew in this afternoon, and after having picked them up at the airport and brought them home, we went out to eat at Carrabba's. I had the shrimp and scallops in a lemon butter sauce. It was heavenly, but probably a bit too fatty, and I probably at a bit too much. Not enough to feel uncomfortable in a normal setting, but enough to be a very unhappy camper during my run. Even though it was almost 3 hours after we ate, my stomach was still having problems. I amost puked a couple of times, but managed to keep it together and just slowed down a bit the second half of the run. Maybe one of these days I will learn my lesson - you think? |

Lunch - medium workout. 1/2 mile warmup at 8:00 pace, then 5 miles at MP and 1/2 mile cooldown at 8:30 pace. Was able to maintain the pace, but it wasn't as easy as last time - perhaps because I didn't get enough sleep last night. Lungs were more taxed than normal, although the legs were fine. At the end of the run, I did a 2 minute cooldown (walking), and my HR went from 168 to 94 by the end of the 2 minutes.
PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel, average pace of 10:15/mile. This in spite of him deciding he didn't want to run for his "smoothie", even though he was pretty close the entire time. Then just before dinner, I ran another 0.5 miles with Joseph because he was acting a little too hyper. We averaged about 11:00 pace or so. |

| Lunch - ran outside today (with the Garmin, which I finally remembered to bring!), the weather was beautiful. It was probably in the upper 60's, but it was cloudy, so it didn't feel as warm as if the sun were out. Ran a different loop today just to see how far it was. 4.5 miles, average pace about 7:25/mile. It felt pretty good to run outside instead of on the treadmill. I will be the first to admit that sometimes it is a bit boring running on the treadmill. I was hoping to run 5 miles, and was also hoping to run with Sam in the afternoon, but neither were to be. It had started to rain when I got home, so I didn't run with Sam, as Adam has been sick, and I didn't want another one of the boys to get sick due to exposure. |
