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
8.00

Some of us from the group met at Michelle's house at 5:45 and ran 8 miles.  Those there:  Julie, Cheris, Peggy, Debbie, Lisa, Nancy, Aaron and his friend Siddaharta (I guess that's his real name, that's what he told us. He goes by Buck also.)  And of course Michelle was there.  We split up pretty early and I ended up running (or trying to run) with Peggy and the guys.  I kept thinking I shouldn't be running Peggy's pace, it's too fast, but I couldn't help but try.  I'm sorry, I guess Steve's right, I just try to push it on every run when it would be better to take things a little slower.  Anyway, they gradually pulled away from me, but I was able to keep them in sight.  We ran by Peggy's house to see her new sod; it looked really good.  Peggy was nice enough to slow down and run with me the last two miles or so.  Total time for the run was 1:13:04; we did stop for a light for at least a minute it seemed, so maybe total running time was really 1:12, which I would be very happy with.  Great morning to run!

Great job this morning! It's great to push the pace by running with faster people sometimes.
