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!

First thing this morning I played basketball.  It was fun, the other team was pretty good, but we were better and we won fairly easily.  I'm not the greatest basketball player but I enjoy running up and down the court.  I feel it is a pretty good workout.  Then after I went to our 5K course and ran it, heading south.  I tried to go by feel, keeping things somewhat comfortable, although that was hard.  I didn't feel overly fast, but my time was 25:32, which was over one minute faster than I ran it last week, so I'll take it.  I then spent most of the day sitting in the sun at Taylorsville High watching my son's track meet.  Later, I was so sore from sitting on those hard stadium bleachers that I had to go to the pool to unwind.  I pool ran for about 45 minutes.  Now that is true fun!
