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!

There are parts of Daybreak I've been wanting to run lately, just because there seems to be a hill every so often to break up the monotomy of running, so my group was nice enough to meet me and that's what we ran this am.  Those there:  Peggy, Michelle, Kris, Walter, Kelli and Kelli's hubby Scott, and Nancy M. ran with us part of the time.  I thought it was fun.  Thanks all for joining us this morning.  See you tomorrow for more hills!  We love hills, we love hills, we love hills (just keep saying that over and over when you are running up a hill.  I think it works.)

This PM I felt like doing a few more, so I put in 3 on the treadmill.  Not as much as Steve running 20 in the morning and then 10 in the afternoon, or Walter who ran with us this morning and then ran up Dog Lake this afternoon, but it was a little additional mileage.

Wow, you ran twice! Good job. You people, I tell ya!

Thanks for the torture this morning, but the way. I have never sweat so much in my entire life! I lost 5 pounds! That was FUN, can not wait to do it again.

Kelli--I just read your blog and you didn't sound like it was that much fun. But those hills are fun in their own strange sort of way. Don't worry, that's one of our favorite workouts so we'll be doing that lots more in the coming months. Stick with us and those hills will become your near and dear friends.

No, I agree. It is a fun in a strange, demented, totally messed up way! It is fun to be with people who are all suffering the same thing and it is great when you are done and can look back and say you did it! I also really enjoyed watching how everyone else was doing---you seemed to get faster with each repeat. AMAZING.

That is running in a nutshell for me---not so fond of it most of the time, but I like people, I like being part of a "community" of runners, and I like to be able to say, "Hey---look what I did!!!"

My husband has called me 3 times to tell me he wishes he had just come! So, he will be glad to hear you do it often. I am not sure how our schedule is going to work when school starts for my oldest next week, but we will figure out a way to at least come some of the time!
