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: |

| Lunch - ran outside today (but made sure to wear sunblock this time). It was a balmy 94 degrees when I set out. I thought it would be quite nice compared to what I have been running in, but a couple miles into the run, I started feeling fairly warm. I tried to consciously slow down, but I don't think it worked - I wasn't wearning my Garmin, so I was just running at a pace that felt comfortable. Slogged out the rest of the run (5.1 miles total) and then walked around to cool down, plus took an extra long cool shower. I think I may have overdone it a little today, not from the speed or effort perspective, but form the running outside in the heat perspective. I probably got the beginnings of some heat exhaustion. Fingers got a little bit tingly too, so I made sure to take in some cold fluids asap to try and cool down the core. That helped quite a bit. I will have to be a bit more aware of the weather tomorrow and maybe stick with the dreadmill for another week or two until the weather can cool down some more. I don't want to end up with heat stroke . . . |

| Lunch - 5 miles outside again. It is amazing what a difference just a few degrees makes. Today it was about 91 degrees when I headed out. Of course, I was also trying hard to make sure I took it easy, and I also took a brief walking break at the 4 mile mark while I walked under a bridge (hence the 5 miles instead of 5.1 miles), but today felt much better. None of the symptoms today that I felt yesterday. I'll keep an eye on the weather tomorrow to decide whether to hit the dreadmill or go outside. Maybe I'll take it easier tomorrow and only do 3-4 miles instead of 5. Average pace of 8:00/mile. |

| Lunch - 4 miles outside. Temperature was about 89 degrees. Not bad, but somehow it felt hotter than yesterday. The route was actually about 4.5 miles, but I ran the first 4, then walked the last 1/2 mile to cool down. It helped quite a bit. Average pace about 8:00/mile. |

| Lunch - ran on the treadmill today, because I forgot my sunglasses. Warmed up 1.5 miles at 8:00 pace, then did a 3 mile progressive tempo run. Started out at 7:00 pace for the first mile, increased to 6:40 pace for the second mile, and increased to 6:20 pace for the last mile. Last quarter mile was at 6:00 pace. Total time for the tempo run was 20:00 even. |
