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: |

| I didn't run this morning, as I was recovering from some sort of virus, but felt good enough this evening to do something, so we took the kids to the track and they played around and ran a little bit while I did some 800 repeats. Did 4 repeats: 1 - 3:17 (too fast), 2 - 3:25 (better, but I was shooting for 3:30), 3 - 3:30, 4 - abt 3:15. On my last repeat, I picked up the pace the last 200 and ran it like an interval. In spite of the fact that it was still 100 degrees out, it felt good. I am going to soak my legs in the tub tonight and will see about doing a nice slow run tomorrow morning. |

| Happy Fourth of July! Afer my 800 repeats yesterday evening, I had planned on a nice slow run. Started out nice and slow, but then ended up picking it up, even though it didn't feel like it. Total time was 32:32, for an average pace of 8:08/mile. I am going to go out later and measure the course - somehow it seemed to be shorter than what I had thought. Otherwise this was a really good run for me. |

| Same route as yesterday - I am going to take it easier this week to try to get my leg back to normal. Ran the 4-mile loop in 33:00 today, for an average pace of 8:15/mile. |

| I took it easy today to avoid over-stressing my calf. I also have started to do some core strength training (crunches, leg lifts) and added calf exercises to that as well. Ran 6 miles in 50:00 for an average of 8:20/mile. I may add a bit of distance later this evening - if so, I will update my entry. |
