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
6.00

Met with Alan, Debbie, and Peggy  and we ran along the canal road for about an hour (1:02 to be exact by my watch.)  That was 6 miles according to Alan's GPS.  It was a comfortable pace, but I could have run slower and been more comfortable.  Bothers me somewhat that 10 minute miles doesn't seem super comfortable.  And I'm hoping to run 8 minute miles in the marathon...Hmmm....  Anyway, my legs were feeling kind of stale so I went to the pool later on and pool ran, hoping that would revive them.  I'm not sure yet if it worked.  I "ran" for 30 minutes, but I'm not logging any of that as mileage.

Hi Cheryl-

I saw your comment on Michelle's blog and thought I'd say hi. I am a fellow yoga lover too. It is so great to find other runners who love yoga!

I hope the pool helped your legs. I love the water! We are getting a new pool with a lazy river and I am looking forward to it!

Marion--Thank you for the comment. Yes, I love yoga and think it's really helpful for flexibility when you're a runner. I also like to pool run, I feel like the pool is really rejuvenating. Lucky you to have your own pool! Good luck with the running.

I only wish it was in my yard :) It's the new community pool. Sorry for the confusion. It's only a few blocks away though. Yipee!!
