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 missed running with the group today because I need to let my hammys heal before I can run again.  I'm one of those lucky runners that seem to always get injuries that take a long time to heal.  My PT said tendon injuries are the hardest to heal because tendons don't get a good blood supply going to them, to they take longer to heal than say a muscle or something that does get a lot of blood.  So who knows how long I'll be out.  I know from sad experience if I don't take the time off now and let things heal up, it will just stay a nagging injury and will just keep on bugging me, and eventually I will have to take time off, so I might as well do it now.  I will blog my cross-training just so I can keep track of what I do.  So all you BBK's, I'll miss you, but hopefully when I come back I'll be a healthier and happier runner.  You guys stay healthy and happy!!

Cheryl, sorry about the hamstrings, unfortunately they are tough to heal. I think swimming has helped out mine the most along with some stretching. Hope to see you again soon. Didn't you pace us with the bike last year?
