Personal:

I'm married with four children.  I run with a group called the Bingham Butt-Kickers, a really fun group of people that gets me out running early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays.   I recently found out that I've been running with poor form for many years, which has probably contributed to some nagging aches and pains I've had for years.  One of my big goals now is to be able to run with better form and to have running feel more effortless.  I hope this won't take too many years to achieve!

Another day of waking up tired, another day of having to really work on getting out and getting the run in.  I tell myself missing a day here and there doesn't matter, but then I worry if I miss one it will turn to two and then who knows what.  Even after many years of running and working out, I still have a fear that I'm going to quit one day and do absolutely nothing.  Probably because in my previous lives, that's what I did--I would run for a few weeks, then quit, run for a few months, then quit.  So I've got to get out every day, or else I might become a quitter again.

Anyway, enough of that.  I made it to the Rec Center about 3:00 and ran for 30 minutes, easy run, didn't keep track of splits or anything, just tried to keep things easy.  Then I did 13 minutes on the stair climber.  Fun as always.
