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: |

| Yay! I got to run in the morning today! It was gorgeous out, none of this "low temperature of 92 degrees" or something. Weather.com says it is currently 79 degrees outside, and it sure felt nice. I hope I can continue to run in the morning. It feels better, and I don't wake up so stiff as I do when I run in the evening shortly before going to bed. Average pace today of 7:46/mile. I have also already lost a fair bit of weight, just from being able to track my food intake and see where my calories are coming from. Of course, having fast Sunday yesterday didn't hurt either . . . :) I am also planning on walking during lunch again today, which I did once last week and absolutely loved. |

| PM - 3 miles outside, average pace of 7:36/mile. I started off nice and easy, and my pace just picked up as the run went on. It felt pretty good. Last mile was 7:04, without trying, although I could tell that it was a fairly good amount of exertion once I stopped. I also walked 2 miles during lunch today, but I'm not counting that under my running miles. |

| PM - 4 miles outside. The weather was a bit warmer tonight - up around 100 degrees when I went out to run at 8:30. My legs felt kind of heavy tonight, and it took a while to get into a good rhythm. Average pace of 7:57/mile. I walked another 2 miles during lunch again as well, which felt really good. |

| PM - 3 miles outside. Weather was cooler than last night - about 88 or so when I headed out at 9:30 (my wife had enrichment tonight, so she didn't get home until then). First two miles were good, average just under 8:00/mile. The third mile, for some reason, I cranked up a bit without realizing it consciously. Last mile was 7:02, for an average pace of 7:32 for the total run. Felt pretty good. Foot is feeling pretty good, legs are a little bit sore on the shins, but I won't increase the mileage until they start to feel a little better. I am starting to feel my years a bit - I can tell at 35 that I don't recover as quickly as I did when I was a teenager. There's a depressing thought . . . |

| PM - 5 miles outside. It was a bit warmer, but I decided since I didn't walk during lunch, I was going to do 5 miles today. Felt pretty good, could tell the heat was affecting me some (it was 99 degrees at 8:30 pm). Average pace of 8:03/mile. |
