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

6.00

The group met up at Glenmoor today. When my alarm went off, I noticed that my stomach was hurting and I thought I might not make it to group. I laid in bed for about 20 minutes and gradually felt better, so I decided to go, knowing I probably wouldn't get in much of a run today if I didn't go. When I got to the meeting place, the group was just leaving, so I ran after them to catch up. Walter came a little after me, but of course, he caught up easily. I did not catch up, but was there in time for the first repeat. We ran approximately one/half mile repeats around the park up there. These are the stats:

1. 3:42; avg. pace 7:41; best 6:38; distance .48

2. 3:49; 7:44; 6:42; .49

3. 3:34; 7:23; 6:31; .48

4. 3:37; 7:21; 6:16; .49

5. 3:27; 6:56; 5:47; .50

6. 3:28; 6:58; 6:03; .50

Then we ran a 2.61 mile run, that took 21:14, pace 8:09 and best was 6:15

A very nice morning to run and a good workout. Glad I made it.

I'm glad you made it too! Nice splits, and you did a great job hitting your high splits at the end. It was a good tough workout...I'm a little bummed I had to leave early.

WOW---those are some super fast times Cheryl. I think the group has left me in the dust....

Thanks, Rachel. Hope the TOSH appt. went well.

Kelli--you don't need to worry. I couldn't come close to a 3:26 marathon, so you are still one of the fastest in the group. Speaking of which, when will we see you again?

I think next week. I am just really struggling with waking up early, but the heat will eventually force me out of bed earlier! I have also been having a hard time with recovery from this marathon and your workouts scare me!!!

I have endurance, not so much the speed part!!!
