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 - 5.4 miles on the treadmill. Warmed up first 1/2 mile at 8:30 pace, then sped up to 8:00 pace for the next 2 miles. At the 2.5 mile mark, I sped up to 7:30 pace for the rest of the run. Average pace of 7:47/mile. Felt very good, nice and smooth. Afterwards did planks - 1:30 facing forward, then 1:00 on each side. I think next week I will add another rep facing forward to my planks. |

Lunch - 5.8 miles outside. It was a little warm, but otherwise absolutely wonderful. Took a different route today - ran up Priest Dr. until it turned into Galvin Pkwy and ran past both the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Gardens, then Galvin Pkwy turned into 64th.St. Galvn Pkwy is all uphill going north and downhill going south. Turned around at the 2.9 mile mark - 7:30 average pace on the dot for the first half. It felt very good, and I wanted to push it a little bit coming back. First mile coming back was pretty flat, not really any downhill at all - 7:09. Second mile I hit quite a bit of downhill, and at one steep downhill got down to about 5:10 pace. Second mile was 6:30. Last 0.9 was at 6:19 pace. Total time for the run was 40:57, average pace of 7:05/mile.
PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel in average pace of 10:30/mile - he was suffering from allergies and, despite his desire to earn his smoothie, was unable to do so. I made him slow down because he didn't sound so good. Afterwards, 0.65 miles with Joey in average pace of 11:25/mile. |

| Lunch - 5 recovery miles on the treadmill. After my run yesterday, I realized when I got home that I had managed to get myself sunburned, so I decided it would be best to stay inside today. Legs felt a little dead from the downhill running yesterday. Warmed up with the first mile at 8:30 pace, then settled into the run at 8:00 pace for the rest of the run. After running did planks (2:30 on front in two reps, 1:00 on each side). |

| Lunch - 6.25 miles on the treadmill. Warmed up the first mile at about 8:00 pace, then got into a tempo run at 6:40 pace for 5.25 miles. I was pretty tired by the end of the tempo run but was determined to finish it out. Good workout, not much else to say. Calves (especially my right calf) are a bit sore after the tempo run, but that is somewhat to be expected. Will take it easy today and have a nice easy recovery run tomorrow. |

Lunch - 5 easy recovery miles on the treadmill at 8:30 pace. Aerobically, this was a very easy workout - I hardly broke a sweat - but the legs definitely felt dead. Afterwards did 2:30 of forward planks (1:30, 1:00) and 1:00 on each side. PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel at 10:20 pace - he had a difficult time today with allergies and a side stitch - then 0.65 with Joey in at 10:50 pace. Joey did not have any issues with allergies.
