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
14.00

Our group's plan was to run up 114th So. to 13th East, then from 13th east to 11000 So., back down, past Alta High, back up to 13th East, then back down.  From 1000 E. to 1300 E. is a nice hill.  My times were 16:53, 15:20 and 14:52.  We ran this on July 23rd, and my times that time were 17:00, 15:35 and 14:38, so I was faster on the first two, but not the last one.  I think I could have been a little faster today on all 3 runs if it hadn't been so dark.  I ran on the sidewalks a lot and was afraid of hitting an indentation or something and falling, so I held back a little.  The best part is I felt great at the end, felt like I could have done it again (if really coerced), I did not feel wasted like I think I felt the last time.  Fun run. 

PM--Because I missed the early mileage this morning, I felt like I needed to do a little more.  So I ran 4 miles on the treadmill, then went to the Rec Center and did 30 minutes of pool running, which I will count for 2 miles.

That was a great run today, way to push it! Thank you for letting me join the BBK's the past few weeks. The group has really helped me improve.

Great job Cheryl. It's hard for me to imagine that someone your age can run so fast. I was never able to run that fast even when I was younger.
