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
11.50

I woke up early, like 5:10, but didn't feel like I had enough time to get ready and meet some of the group at Cheris' house, so I just bagged that idea.  I got up, did a few things, then laid back down and slept some more.  Great way to start the day (not!).  Anyway, I finally got going, and this is what I did.  I took Schneider to the canal road and ran for 40 minutes.  Not overly happy with the run, I felt like I was struggling more than I should have for a 9:15 avg. pace.   Then I went home and ran pretty easy on the treadmill for 30 minutes.  Then later this evening during the BYU-FSU game (Ugh!) I ran some more.  I did a 5K in 21:35; that time is deceptive because the treadmill was on a decline so it was easier than if it had been flat or on an incline (obviously).  It was still an enjoyable run; just enough intensity to challenge me, but not too much to wipe me out.  I didn't enjoy the football game, but I did enjoy the run!

Good job running. I didn't like the game at all, I was very disappointed.
