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: |

| Ran 1.5 miles with Sam and Sparky after work. Adam and Joey were still sick - they didn't run. After dinner, ran another 1.5 miles with Sparky, then did another 5 miles by myself. Had 4 miles that were around MP, the rest were easy miles, the entire run felt very good, my legs felt powerful. |

Ran 2.5 miles with Adam and Joseph in the jogging stroller while Sam did his homework, then ran another 1.5 miles with Sam. About 7:40 pace for the miles with just Adam and Joseph, about 12:30 pace for the miles with Sam. Will do some more after Lybi gets back from her run with Christine this evening. Ran another 4 miles later in the evening - 1.5 miles with Sparky, then another 2.5 miles by myself to hit 8 miles for the day. Average pace of 7:36/mile. Left soleus was pretty tight afterwards, an indication that I am out of alignment again and need to go see the chiro. Also used the stick I got Lybi on that area to loosen up the tight muscles. Outside of my knee started to ache towards the end of the run as well - tight piriformis, tight ITB. Need to stretch them out good. |

| Ran 1.5 miles with the entire family - I pushed Joseph and Adam in the stroller, we let Sam run holding Sparky's leash for a while. He did a great job. Then ran another 3.5 miles later to make a total of 5 miles for today. I am not sure if I am going to do any more today or not. |

| Had the Del Sol Relay captain's meeting this evening, so I didn't get home until about 8:30. Lybi decided not to run today because her knee was acting up again. I ran 3 miles with Sparky at 7:56 pace (he was tired afterwards), then ran another 4 miles at 7:29 pace. Stretched out my IT band and piriformis before getting out, the knee held up fine. |

| Ran 3 miles outside with Sparky at 7:59 pace. Ran in my new Grid Tangents to break them in. They feel good. I will be test driving them a few more times to make sure they will work properly. If not, thank goodness for Road Runner Sports' 60 day perfect fit guarantee. Took Sparky back in, went out for another 4 miles. First 3.5 miles nice and easy, about 7:35 pace, then picked up the pace to see how the shoes would feel at closer to race pace. Last 1/2 mile around 6:30 pace, total time of 29:46, average pace of 7:26/mile, purely due to the last 1/2 mile. |

AM - went out for an 8-miler. Lybi has Cavalcade practice this morning, then piano lessons in the afternoon, then the Cavalcade event this evening, so this morning was the only time I was going to have to get my run in. Went to bed at a reasonable hour, woke up at 6 and got going. Started off a bit slowly, then got into a good rhythm. My original goal was to maintain around 7:40 pace. I did pretty well for the first half, then found myself starting to slowly speed up. Around the halfway mark, the outside of my left knee was kind of tight and a little achy, so I stopped and stretched it out. Felt it for a little longer, then it went away for the rest of the run. Total time for the 8 miles was 1:00:23, average pace of 7:33/mile. Felt good to get this run out of the way. I may or may not do a couple more easy miles with Sparky later today. I hit my original mileage goal, so I am happy with that. PM - In spite of my tired legs, I got out and ran 1.5 miles with Sam and Sparky, and with Joseph and Adam in the double jogging stroller. Wasn't a particularly good run, but I am glad we did it. |
