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
9.00

I met with the group at Bingham High at 5:30 and we ran easy for about 25 minutes.  Then we regrouped and did a neighborhood run of about 6.5 miles.  I  started out with a new woman and was talking to her and the main group took off.  I tried to catch them after a few minutes and spent the entire workout trying to catch them but never did.  It took me about 57 minutes to run the distance.  The good news is I did not feel as tight as I was feeling last week.  I keep thinking I've figured out what my main problem is.  Now I think it's weak glutes and that's why my piriformis is bothering me.   I've been stretching but not really working on strengthening.  Now I'm going to add strengthening into my repetoire and see if that's the magic key.  I did go to yoga class after and that felt pretty good.

Nice job! It always seems like there is some little nagging pain. Take care of yourself!
