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!

The group met at Bingham.  I decided that since the last 3 sessions have been pretty mellow, tapering for and then recovering from the Ogden marathon,  I wanted to do something a little more intense today.  So we ran our tried and true 2 mile loop twice.  The first time we did it in 15:37, the second in 15:01.  I ran with Michelle M. and Curt Evans both times.  The difference was I was breathing hard, they were hardly breathing.  It was fun. I think, no I know, that's the fastest I've run that loop in like forever, or at least in the past year of so.   It feels good to be getting a little speed back again.  I had a little sickness after the first one, none after the second.  I won't be happy until there's none whatsoever.

You were really hauling on those loops, I could barely push under a 9mm!! The sickness must kind of come and go, because you've had some FAST paces without it. Any other factors that may cause it to rear its ugly head? Sleep, diet, etc? Something that makes some push days sick days and other push days good days? Just a thought...
