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

10.00

We met with Air Darkhorse at Alta High and ran a warm-up for about 15 minutes, and then ran a continuous run where we did two minutes fast, two minutes recovery. It was raining slightly when we got there, and then cleared up and it was a nice morning to run. I liked that we got in a lot of hills. Ever since I started heeding Steve's and Sasha's advice to just run easy miles, running has been a lot better; I don't feel a need to kill myself on every run. So today was very pleasant and nice to be out running with my friends. Michelle's GPS said we did about 7.2 miles. Sasha--are you happy I'm no longer a lurker?

PM-Ran a VERY easy 30 minute run on my treadmill; pace was between 11 and 12 minute miles. Made 10 miles for the day

Welcome to the blog! It's great to lurk but even better to participate. I too am having to learn to stretch religiously.

Thanks Michelle. Yours is one of the blogs I've followed as I've "lurked." I think you're going to do really well in Ogden

Welcome to the blog! This is a very significant event in this history of the blog. My mom would be saying that a big elephant died today.

Good Cheryl, Especially the way you did the second workout. For now don't worry if you can't do that every day especially on days when you do longer runs.

Nice to have another S. Jordan runner on board.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Sasha, I'm glad a big elephant died today. This blogging is kind of fun. Steve, maybe the second workout is why I didn't feel great today, so maybe I'd better limit that. Terry, if you want to come to our fun running group in So. Jordan, let me know.
