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 - 4.75 miles on the treadmill. Started off easy, but got bored quickly and since I wasn't completely satisfied with my race, wanted to see what I could manage on the treadmill. Started off at 8:00 pace, then increased to 7:30 pace after a mile. At 2 miles, increased the pace to 7:00 pace, then increased the speed every 1/2 mile after that. At 2.5 miles, increased to 6:40 pace, at 3 miles, increased to 6:20 pace, at 3.5 miles, increased to 6:00 pace (still doing good), at 4 miles, increased to 5:42 pace, at 4.5, increased to 5:30 pace, then called it good after 1/4 mile at that pace. Good workout, but the downside was that afterwards the top of my foot hurt. I am a bit concerned, as it was sore after my race as well. I iced it later in the evening, and decided to not do any more running this week, but will instead get on the bike to keep up the cardio and still work the legs. |

| 11.25 miles on the bike at the fitness center. Got in a pretty good workout, although for the most part, my HR was down in the 110-120 range. Towards the end, I got it up to 140 really pushing it on a simulated hill - RPM's were around 105. Had that weird feeling after the ride I will call "biker's legs" where everything still felt kind of rolling for a couple minutes. |

| Lunch - 14.4 miles on the bike in 40 minutes. Today was more of a cardio workout than yesterday - more of a constant resistance aimed at reaching a certain HR as opposed to doing hills yesterday. Got my HR up to 150 by the end. Average speed would have been 21.6 mph based on the distance. Got a real good workout for my legs, then did core till my abs were burning. Foot still hurts :( |

| Lunch - another 14.4 miles on the bike in the fitness center. Got my HR up to 163 today at the end, but I was also going at about 110 rpm . . . legs were burning good at the end. Then I did core again until my abs were burning big time. I hope that I can still maintain some semblance of fitness this next week while I wait to see what is going on with my foot. Been icing it, and started rubbing hydrocortisone cream on it at night to help with any inflammation, since I can't handle motrin. This injury is really baffling me. I don't wear my running shoes tight, but at the same time, there doesn't appear to be major tenderness to the touch at the location that is painful. |
