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!

So after several days of feeling tired and sluggish, today I felt great.  I felt like I could have run Suncrest again, I barely felt sore or tired from that run.  Why did I feel so good?  I figured it out--I finally got some sleep!!  I've been up every morning between 4:30 and 5:30 this week.  Today I slept until about 8:00.  That extra time does make a difference. I had a good run running  sprints on the treadmill, and then did hill sprints on the bike.  Later I went to the new Harry Potter movie.  I'm not really into Harry Potter, but I think I'm finally going to start reading the books, just so I can understand better what it's all about.

I'm glad you figured out your problem. Maybe that is my problem too. I usually get 6 hours of sleep and sometimes 7 but never 8. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed I always wake up at 4 or 5.
