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: |

| AM - ran 8 easy miles this morning - 5 miles on my own at 7:49 pace, then another 3 miles with Sparky at 8:30 pace. Legs felt a little flat after the 15 miler on Saturday, and we also had dinner with Lybi's aunt and had steak there, and I was still feeling a bit sluggish from the dinner (yes, I ate too much . . .) Overall a good run. I have decided that I am actually going to cut back a bit this week and increase back up to close to 60 mpw next week, to make sure I avoid getting injured. Probably on the low end of 50 miles this week, then something like 58 miles next week. |

| PM - 8 miles on the treadmill after the boys were asleep. I slept in a little bit this morning, because I stayed up too late, so no running in the morning. Treadmill run felt good, felt good to get the run in. |

| PM - ran 3 miles outside with Sparky at 8:35 pace, then ran another 4 miles by myself at 7:50 pace. Felt a little sluggish again, legs didn't feel real sharp, and it was fairly hot outside (about 90 degrees), but I was glad to get the run in. |

| PM - ran 3 miles with Sparky, average pace 8:36/mile. It was hot outside - 95 degrees at 9:00 PM. Came inside, got a drink and went to the treadmill. 4 miles on the treadmill. First mile at 7:30 pace, then decided to get in some speedwork, 3 miles at MP - 6:50/mile. Felt good to stretch the legs out, and my breathing was good as well. |

AM - ran 8 miles early this morning. Started out at 8:30 pace, picked up the pace after the first mile, was running steady 8:00 pace or thereabouts. Legs were a bit tired from the MP effort last night and from having run only about 8 hours previously. On the last mile, I decided to pick things up again, ran the last mile in 6:40, on the high side of my MP. Afterwards, showered and went to the church to help the Elders Quorum move a family out of the ward. That took about 2 hours, during which we were moving some pretty heavy furniture, so I definitely got a good weightlifting workout from that. My arms are still sore from the work I did. Today is our 11 year anniversary, happy anniversary Lybi! I am so grateful to be married to such a wonderful and beautiful woman. Another 4 miles (hopefully) planned for later this evening. However, if I don't get the chance to get in my second run, I won't be heartbroken . . . |
