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: |

| Man, I gotta get my butt in gear and start running every day. My excuse has been that I haven't been getting to bed early enough, thus waking up at 5:30 wouldn't allow me to get enough sleep. But I decided last night that I needed to run this morning, come what may. Hopefully this will inspire me to get myself to bed no later than 10 PM, 'cuz I'm gonna run, no matter what. I only did 2 miles today, but still, it felt good. Now gotta keep it up for the rest of the week and get myself back in the habit so I can lose some of this extra weight I'm carrying around . . . |

| AM - 2.5 easy miles this morning, keeping with my pledge to run every morning, no matter what. It felt good to run, but I definitely need to make sure that I get a bit more sleep tonight. Average pace of approximately 8:00/mile. |

| AM - another run in the bag - that makes 3 days in a row! Just 2 miles again today. Ran a different route to break up the monotony, first mile was easier, and the second mile was run a bit harder. Here's hoping that consistent training will finally get me to lose the weight I need to lose. |

| AM - 3.5 miles outside - it was wonderful. It had rained a bit during the night, and I even got dripped on a little bit when I went out. It wasn't too hot, so that was nice. I was originally planning on running 4 miles, but I wimped out and settled for 3.5. It's actually a good thing, though, because we ended up having a really busy day. |
