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 wanted to meet up with the group and do their planned workout today, but because of the pain in my left knee, I knew there would be no running today.  Whenever I get injured it means one thing--cross-training, and for me today it was pool running.  I went to the Rec Center about 7:45 to pool run, then a water aerobics class came in at 8:00, so that cut short my workout.   I did get in 30 minutes of running.  I came back later to do more, and this time I just had to dodge all the kids that like to hang out at the pool on Saturday.  I got in an hour of pool running.  Not the same as land running, but I felt like I was working hard.  I'll give myself one mile for each 15 minutes of running.  Typing this Saturday evening, my knee feels better than last night, but I still don't think I should try running on it.  Good thing tomorrow is Sunday, my rest day (usually), so we'll see how things go on Monday.

Hope things get better soon! Nice job getting the workout in despite the injury, I'd probably have just called it a day!

Cheryl, good call on the pool running, my training for St.George last year was 90% pool running, a few more days of hard pool running until the knee gets better.

I'm sorry about the knee Cheryl.
