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!

I felt like yesterday I "overreached" so to speak, so today I thought I should take it easy.  I went out for 60 minutes and ran 30 seconds practicing good form and then did 30 seconds of walking.  During the 30 second form sessions I worked on high knees, butt kicks (sorry, that's what they're called) and some bounding and skipping.  I did all this on the canal road where I could take my dog also and give him some exercise.  It's nice because usually there's no one else around so he can run free.  I then walked on my treadmill for 30 minutes, using a high incline to get some hill work in.  I have no idea how many miles I actually ran, but I think I did at least 4 so that's what I'm giving me for today.

Buttkicking huh? Is that where the BBK came from? We ought to work those into the weekly workouts. Some polymetrics sound like a great idea.

I think that's where the name came from. I'm all for doing form work and plyometrics in the weekly workout--everything I read says they're important to do. Maybe after SGM when we're less concerned about getting so many miles in we can do different things that should help us run better.
