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 - 5.35 miles on the treadmill. Felt energized after an extra day off from running on Saturday. Started off at 8:00 pace for the first 1/2 mile to warm up, then moved into 7:30 pace for 1.5 miles. Decided to throw in a couple MP miles. 2 miles at 7:00 pace. Felt very good. Then cooled down with the last 1.35 miles at about 7:50 pace. Finished up my workout with planks. I am up to a minute facing forward and about 45 seconds on each side right now. PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel at average pace of 9:58/mile. He earned his smoothie. I finally convinced him that it is better to run a consistent pace throughout to get his smoothie, rather than rely on a burst of speed at the end after running the entire rest of the run too slowly. Then 0.65 with Joey in average pace of 10:19/mile. He also earned his smoothie. He did a great job, even though we ran faster than he is used to.

Lunch - progressive tempo run on the treadmill. Started off nice and easy at 8:30 pace for the first 1/2 mile to warm up, then increased the speed 0.5 mph after each mile. Finished at 6:20 pace for the last mile, was working pretty hard but was able to maintain. Afterwards did 1 minute front planks, 45 seconds on each side. My hip flexor was kind of sore after this workout - I am going to ice it when I get home and see if I can get it to calm down. No more fast running until I can get this under control (now if I can just listen to my own advice . . .) PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel, average pace of about 10:25/mile. Then 0.65 miles with Joey in average pace of 11:06/mile. Afterwards, I took them to get their smoothies that they had earned yesterday.

Lunch - 5 easy miles on the treadmill again at 8:30 pace. Felt very easy, both on the muscles as well as aerobically. Felt like I was loafing, although I am sure I still got an aerobic benefit from the run. Afterwards did 1:30 forward planks and 1:00 each side. PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel at 10:25 pace, then 0.65 miles with Joey in 11:20 pace.

Lunch - 5.1 miles outside today. The weather was really too nice to waste by running on the treadmill. I really should have run outside every day this week - it has been so nice out - but most days I forget both my Garmin and my sunglasses, of which the sunglasses are paramount to my running outside due to sensitive eyes. Average pace of 7:25 today, but was averaging more like 7:30 for the first 4 miles, then cranked it up just a little bit at the end. Felt very good, very smooth. PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel at average pace of 10:35/mile, then 0.65 miles with Joseph at average pace of 11:15/mile.

| PM - 8 miles outside. It was a bit warm - around 80 degrees. Started off nice and easy, and very slowly picked up the pace. Turned around at the 4 mile mark, and unconsciously picked up the pace again. Last 4 miles were 7:31, 7:30, 7:34 and 6:56. It felt good to run outside - I need to do it more often during my lunch break - I am certain it is better for my legs and feet than always going on the treadmill. |
