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: |

| Ran my usual 5 mile loop this morning, felt good although I didn't get quite enough sleep last night. Total time was 39:00 for an average pace of 7:48/mile. I am planning on moving up to 6 miles for several of my runs this week. |

| Even though I didn't get enough sleep (again) last night, I was determined to go through with my 6 mile run this morning. Got up a little bleary-eyed, but once I took some energy gel, I was more awake and ready to go. Felt good enough to run negative splits on my run. First 3 miles was run in 24:53, for an average of 8:17/mile, the second 3 miles were in 23:41, for an average pace of 7:53/mile. Total time was 48:35, for an average pace of 8:05/mile. Felt good. I will plan on getting enough sleep tonight, and am looking forward to continuing with my daily 6 milers. I am also going to start working on hills for my long runs, as I don't really have the opportunity to do that during the week, and have to drive a short distance to get to any kind of uphill. |

| Ran 6 miles again, felt better afer a good night's sleep. First half of out and back was run in 24:39, for an average pace of 8:13/mile. Second half was run in 24:06 for an average pace of 8:02/mile. Total time was 48:45 for an average pace of 8:07/mile. I worked specifically on staying more consistent on this run and not running too fast towards the end. Was able to keep my same breathing rhythm throughout. |

| Started out a little too fast, and got tired towards the end of my run, so I decided to cut the last 1/2 mile off and just do 5 1/2 miles. Total time for my run was 44:32, for an average pace of 8:05/mile. |
