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 at lunch today, did Lunch Run 2 again, but added on just a little bit to make it an even 5 miles. Took it slower today, averaged about 7:35/mile or so. Felt good, not quite as windy as the other day. Just nice and breezy, nice temps. After dinner, ran another 1.5 miles with Samuel at about 10:15 pace, then another 0.85 miles with Joey at about 11:30 pace. It is so much easier getting in more miles when I am able to run during lunch. I will be running tomorrow as well, and will be running with the boys tomorrow afternoon before we start for Texas. We are stopping for the night at Lybi's parents' house - even though it is a bit out of the way, it breaks the trip into two more manageable segments. |

Ran during my lunch hour again. Today was a cool and cloudy day, perfect running weather. I ran a different route today - it is so nice to be able to run so many different ways and be able to get in some hills during my run. I really don't have that option where I live - it is pretty pancake flat. Course was Lunch Run 3. I miscalculated the distance of this run - I thought it was going to be 5 miles, and it ended up being 5.3. Hit the turnaround at 19:30, which would have been a nice easy pace for 2.5 miles. For 2.65 miles, it was a bit too fast - 7:20 pace. However, there was more uphill than down the first half of the run, so I fully expected to run the second half faster. Second half was in 18:30, average pace of 6:58/mile. This did include a 1/4 mile stretch where I kind of pushed the pace, but still much faster than I thought. The strange thing is that it felt pretty darn good. I guess maybe the almost two weeks of rest I took ended up doing me some good. I just have to be more careful, though and keep my pace slower. I also need to start taking the Garmin with me to work so that I can use it for my runs. |
