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: |

| Ran 4.0 mile loop this evening, the weather is finally cooling down. Decided to wear my HR monitor to see where my fitness was. Avg. HR was 174 - but that was really due to the 3rd mile, which I ran in 6:39. Overall. the run felt good I take the HR readings with a grain of salt, because I have always had a high exercise HR. Total time for the run was 31:04. Stretched out afterwards, which helped my hip to feel better. |

| I'm not going to log any distance today, but I sure did get in some speed work. I decided to play basketball with our ward team tonight, and played for about 45 minutes straight - full court. After the game, in addition to my quads being sore from all the jumping, all of my sprinting muscles were extremely sore, but it sure felt good to get in that kind of workout. |

| Ran 3.25 mile loop this evening. Glad to be able to get out and run - had an extremely difficult day. I had to stay home from work today because my wife had sprained her back (we're hoping that's all it is). In addition, our oldest did not have school today (October break), and the kids were bouncing off the wall. Took them to the park and let them run around, but that only calmed them down for a while. My run tonight was part stress relief, part shaking out the sore muscles from last night. It felt good, and I think I actually ran more efficiently as a result of the speed work. In addition to trying to get in some 10-K's before the end of the year, my other goal is to get my weight down, which I know will also help out both my posture and my running technique. I think my ideal weight would be between 165-170. As tonight was our fruit smoothie night, I also wanted to pass on a good (and pretty healthy) recipe for smoothies: 1 cup rolled oats 1 banana, ripe approx. 2 cups milk 1 cup frozen blueberries 1 cup frozen strawberries orange or lemon juice - abt 2-3 tbsp 4-6 ice cubes (or more, to achieve desired consistency) sugar (to taste, can also be substituted with splenda or other sweetener) blend the oatmeal in the blender until it is the consistency of coarse flour, add milk, banana, blueberries, strawberries and ice cubes. blend until the desired consistency is achieved (we have all had smoothies before right?). Add sugar or other sweetener until smoothie is desired level of sweetness. Pour and enjoy. Makes about 4 full cups. Yummy! |

| Today's run was at a slow, relaxed pace. I deliberately slowed down to give my legs a break. First mile in 8:52, average HR 152. Second mile in 8:52, average HR 160. 3rd mile in about 8:00 (thought I hit the lap button, but didn't), average HR 166 (high was only 173). 4th mile in about 8:20, average HR 168. last .6 in 5:57, average HR 167. Total time was 40:00 even. Average HR for the total run was 162. This run felt very good, and I was happy to see a lower HR than the other day. I anticipate this will continue to drop as my fitness increases and my weight goes down. My muscles were still a little bit sore at the beginning of the run, but the soreness went away as my muscles got warmed up. |
