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!

Total Distance
9.00

I ran 6 miles on the treadmill while watching the Bingham-Texas high school team game.  Bingham lost by two touchdowns I think, and that was too bad.  Then later I went to the Rec Center to do some pool running.  Labor Day is a bad day to try to swim at the Rec Center, way too many kids in the way.  I made it for 45 minutes, then had enough of dodging kids.  I will count that as 3 miles.  My knee felt much better today.  It was a strange thing, how it came on suddenly with really no warning and then went away after a day or two.  The way it felt when it first hit, I thought I might have to cross-train all this week.  Fortunately, it got better faster than I thought.  Let's hope that doesn't happen again.  Can you imagine being hit by something like that, completely out of the blue, the night before a big race?  That would be very frustrating, so I'm hoping the bizarre knee pain will stay away for good.

AMEN! Here's to hoping it never comes back! Hopefully just some twitch or pinched nerve or something. Nice job on the run and nice kid dodging in the pool!

Cheryl, That is too funny that you have had the experience of dodging kids while in the pool. I can remember more than once this summer being in the roped off lanes at the Gene Fullmer pool and having kids criss-crossing all over the place. Gotta love the county pools.
