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
12.00

I met with the group at Riverton High at 5:30am, and we ran "easy" around the neighborhood by the school.  Then we broke up into the track group and the road group.  The track just doesn't seem to agree with me anymore, so I opted out of doing the track and supposedly lead the road group, even though we got pretty spread out.  We had a pretty big group that wanted to run on the road.  Kelli and I ran together and had a nice chat, then we met up with Jody, Amy and Lisa, and we ran with them the rest of the way.  I used them for speed work, going faster to catch them, then falling back, then speeding up again to catch them.  So I got some speed work in that way.  Total miles for all that running, plus a small warm-up I did beforehand, was 8 miles.  Later on I did some stationary bike stuff plus ran a little more on the treadmill, so I'm giving myself 4 more miles for that.  It turned out to be a pretty good day.  It was fun to see all the people at running group today.

It is a BIG group! You guys are the popular kids at school!

I enjoyed chatting with you also---I told my husband that you are my favorite person to run with! We just chat and run and i do not even realize that I am working!

Thanks you guys so much---this has helped me more than you know! I was so sick and tired of running!!!
