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 the church at 12400 So. and 1100 W.  I got there early for the early miles because I wanted to show everyone where we were going to run the main workout.  I tried to include lots of up and down hills.  That seems to be a good neighborhood for that.  I wasn't feeling super great, so I tried to take things easy.  Any of you who didn't enjoy the hills, you probably just ran them too fast.  I took them easy (like I just said) and they really weren't that bad.  I did hear a few complaints, so maybe next week we'll just do one day of hills.

Sorry to be such a complainer Cheryl:) I totally complained but it's all in fun. I was completely beat up yesterday. My stomach didn't feel very good before we started and my legs were already a bit trashed so for me, the hills killed me. I like the idea of doing one hill workout and a tempo type run the other day. Just my 2 cents. Thank you though for everything you do. If you ever here me complain, know it is usually a good thing. That is why I come to the group. Someone to push me.

I so LOVE hills, I just hate running down them. They kill me knee. My plan was to take it slow as well, but I took the offer to run flat instead. It was a nice EASY day for me----no complaints here! Who could complain about the fact that I got myself there planning for hills and then got to run easy???
