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!

I didn't go to my group today, but I did miss them terribly.  Reading all their blogs, I really missed running those hills.   It's hard for me to miss a group day, but I think if I had run those hills, I would have felt very sick at the end.  The good thing is that there's always next time.

What I did, I went to the Rec Center again and ran an easy 30 minutes on the track.  I kept a record of my splits, and I averaged about 47 seconds per lap.  The best thing is, I wasn't sore and miserable at the end.  I'm enjoying running more now that I feel I'm running more correctly and not with so much tightness.  I wanted to go to yoga, but I looked in the class, and it was packed.  I don't think there would have been room for me, so instead, I did 10 minutes on the stair climber, then went home and did some stretching and core work.  Tonight, I plan to play some basketball.

Cheryl,

I'm sorry your thyroid is acting up. I really missed you at running group. I even got to stay the whole time.

Cheryl,

You were missed this morning. Sounds from your posting for the day that you had a full workout. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling stronger.

Basketball too? You are an animal!

Nancy and Eric--thanks for your comments. I did miss seeing all of you at the group. I'll be back when I get my thyroid issues straightened out. Nancy, I'm glad you were able to stay the entire time. It sounds like it was a killer workout. And Eric, I'm glad you were back with the group. It is getting big, isn't it? Hope to see you guys again soon.

Thanks, Michelle, I missed seeing you guys also. I should be back next week. I've been reading your blog, you're running really strong. I see a great racing season this year for you.
