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: |

| Today's run felt good - I was able to keep my same breathing rhythm throughout, and felt like I could have gone further. Total time was 39:49 for an average pace of about 7:58/mile. If I can get all 4 of my 5-milers in this week, I will be ready next week to add my 6th day. Once I get up to 30 miles/week, I think it will be time to start increasing my long run on saturdays, as I now have 19 weeks left before St. George (where did all the time go?). |

| The run felt good this morning, decided to do a little less because I didn't want to stop for the stoplight that I run through to get my 5 miler in. Total time was 38:01 for an average pace of 8:15/mile. |

| I decided to pick up the pace after warming up, and ended up ripping off about a 7:15 and then a 7:04 mile in a row. Best news was that it felt good! Total time for my run was 36:02 for an average pace of 7:50/mile. |

| Longest run so far, felt good. I ran 2.5 miles to the track then ran 3 miles at the track, with my 3rd mile being a 7:52, took a water break then headed back home. Total time for my run was 1:05:20, for an average pace of 8:10/mile. I am excited - this was the most mileage for a week I have had so far, and I am feeling good. I am ready to increase my mileage next week - I think I am going to add Friday in this week - 2-3 miles, and also add another mile to my long run. I will also try to get in a time trial this week to give me an indication of my fitness. |
