Personal:

I know Sasha from the CS program at BYU. We both graduated in 1997. He probably doesn't remember me, because he was definitely more vocal in class and among the students than I was.

Married to Teresa with 3 kids: Anders (4), Kristian (9), and Zoe (12).

Fluent in Danish, but there is obviously very little need for that.

Not exactly an easy Memorial Day run, but it was enjoyable. I met up with the group at the Capitol. I thought we were doing about 6-8 miles, but I learned that we were going up to the top of City Creek, which is about 7 miles each way and an elevation difference of about 1500 feet. I was testing the ankle out to see how it was, and it felt ok. In fact, other than some general fatigue at the end of the run, I didn't have any problems. Very good sign. Maybe I've finally started to get on top of this thing.

I ran with Bill and Alicia mostly. Andrea and Tracy had their dogs, so they could only go halfway up. They did that twice. Jason and Renae were there too, and we waited for them at the top, then ran down together. The rain was dumping, but it felt nice. I got a little chilled at the end, but not too bad.
