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 was hoping I could at least run a little today, but it just wasn't happening.  Then I thought if I couldn't run I'd at least get out for a couple of hours and just have the experience of being on my feet for a long time.  So I headed out on a walk, hoping to make it for at least an hour, two would be better.  Things started out fine, but about 30-40 minutes into it my quad starting hurting, enough to make me think if I kept going I would just be doing more damage and hinder the healing process.  I did make it to an hour, then that was it.  Very sore quad.  I'm still hoping I'll be able to run  by Monday, but we'll see.  Based on the pain level, I'd be surprised if it put me out for more than three or four days, but you never know.  I'll give myself 4 miles for today, one for each 15 minutes.

Cheryl, I'm so sorry about the quad. I've had a torn quad now since the end of June/1st of July. I went to PT for it for a while, but just 'graduated'. I sure hope it's not a full tear! I still have twinges now and then, but haven't had to stop running - it was just slower and shorter. Take care of yourself and heal quckly, I hope it is just a twinge and not a tear!!
