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: |

| For some reason, today's run felt a little difficult. After my run was over, I measured the route I ran (this evening) and I realized why. Total time for my run this morning was 27:00 flat, for an average pace per mile of 7:42. A bit faster than I wanted to run. I think that in addition to running faster than I wanted to, my feet are also getting used to the extra weight of my new shoes. I am going to run in the older shoes tomorrow to see how it feels. |

| Another run which ended up being faster than I wanted. It seems I just can't keep a slower pace on my runs. I ran with my older shoes today (Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6's) and they definitely felt lighter. I will wear the hurricane's a few more times, but if they still feel too heavy, I am going to return them and get the Grid Omni's instead. Total time for today's run: 38:31 for an average pace per mile of 7:42/mile. |

| Yeah - I finally managed to slow down a bit! Total time for my 3.5 mile run this morning was 28:18, for an average pace of 8:05/mile. Better than 7:42. This run also felt more relaxed, and I was again able to keep my regular breathing rhythm. I felt a little stuffed up today and have had a little tickle in my throat, so I will have to see how I feel tomorrow morning to see if I feel better and can go ahead and do my 1 mile tempo run or just to an easy few miles. |

| Well, I went ahead and tried to do my first mile at 5 mile race pace, which was probably a mistake given how I was feeling this morning. I think that had I had enough energy and been feeling 100%, I would have been able to sustain the pace I ran. As it was, I had to stop for about 30 seconds and catch my breath, then treated the rest of the run like an easy run. First mile was in 7:02, total time was 25:07 for an average pace of 7:50/mile. However, the second 2.2 miles were run at an average of 8:12/mile, a bit better. I am going to hold off on my 3 mile time trial for another week, given my current state of health, and am instead going to do an easy run. |

| I still wasn't feeling 100% today. I had planned on running 8 miles, but after my third mile, I could tell that I was not ready for that today, so I stopped at 4. I figure it is better to go easy today and be able to get back into my schedule next week, rather than run long today and still not feel good on Monday. Total time was 32:24 for a pace of 8:06/mile. |
