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!

All I know is I'm thankful for my running group, because the chance that I would have gotten out there today and run in the windy, cold, snowy, windy, windy conditions without them was zero.  No, let me rephrase that, less than zero.  We met at Daybreak.  I had scouted out the area yesterday, during daylight hours, to see good places to run.  Today, when it was dark and snowy and did I mention windy, I couldn't get my bearings as well so we didn't quite run the workout I had planned, but I think we got in a good run nonetheless.  We ran up by the temple, did a couple of half mile repeats, then back down and did hill repeats.  Part of the run when we were running into the wind reminded me a little of St. George last year.  I run with the toughest group of people, nothing stops them from running.  I admire every one of them.

Cheryl thanks for all you do for our running group. If I had gone to that run and was the only one there I would have gone back home and gone to bed.
