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

3.50

I had told myself last week that I wasn't going to run again until Tuesday, but today I was feeling pretty good, felt rested, just felt like running, so I did. I was able to put in a 5K on the treadmill in 23:51, with a 1% incline. I was pretty pleased with that, legs felt pretty good during the entire run. My legs have been feeling better; I'd like to think they're healing up, but I really think it's the advil I've been taking. Oh well, whatever works.

Cheryl,

Wow! You are absolutely incredible. The is a great run on a treadmill, with an incline. You are paying your dues and will do so well this year. I viewed the workout email this morning and I am excited to do some of the speed and strength training.

No pain no gain, right?

Whatever works, that is our MOTTO! That is a great time on a treadmill (or for any 5k, for that matter). You are so impressive!

Today's run was proof that your legs must be feeling better. You did great. Thanks for the fun workout.

Eric--thank you for the nice comment. We missed you this morning. See you Thursday?

Kelli--you are too nice. It was fun running with you this morning.

Julie--thank you, I appreciate that. I'm glad you thought the "hill torture" was fun. I thought it was fun also.

Always good to be with my running friends.

Cheryl - thanks so much for the hill work this morning, I've never done anything 'productive' like that in my training, I just run what feels comfortable! I'm so glad Kelli invited me and all of you accepted me to come and work out with you. I feel I've already gained so much just in the month or less I've been coming! I hate hills and am so slow at them, I hope to get more hill work (oops, just kidding! I won't hope for it but I'll appreciate it in the end!)

From Cheryl on Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 01:10:16

Rachel--Thanks for that. It's been fun having you run with us. Don't worry, we'll be doing plenty of hills in the weeks to come.
