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!

Peggy and Debbie met at my house at 5:45 to run 10 miles.  We did the up and back Glenmoor route that I plotted out many years ago when I was training for some St. George marathon, I can't remember the exact year, probably 2000 or 2001.  I used to dread doing that run but felt it was good because of the up and down involved.  It was much nicer today because of the company.  A ten mile run no longer intimidates me because of the higher mileage we've all been doing.  A twenty mile run still intimidates me.   Maybe, despite what I said to Peggy about hating 20 mile training runs and feeling all they did was wear me down, I need to do a few of them.  We'll see. 

PM--Ran 4 more on the treadmill.  Fun!!

Thanks Kelli for the comment. Yeah, we missed you this morning, but sleeping in sounds good. I was very tired this morning also, but the run turned out pretty good. Good luck at Hobblecreek.
