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!

To the Rec Center.  I did 2x20 minutes on the stair stepper.  The last 20 minutes I put the stair master on its highest level and did some running--not the whole 20 minutes, that would have killed me, but some minute intervals spread throughout.  I can do that kind of running without feeling any pain in my hamstrings, so maybe that's what I'll have to do the next few weeks.  I then spent 25 minutes on the elliptical.  Family Guy was on the TV when I did that, so of course I was forced to watch.  What a show.  Funny but very crude at the same time.

Cheryl, you are incredible, running on a stairstepper? You might just be building up a ton of strength and endurance that will be a huge benefit in the long run. You are smart!

Also, have to rib you about Family Guy! You can be honest if you really enjoyed it or not.

OK, Eric, this is just between me and you and no one else. I do find Family Guy pretty funny; I have a hard time resisting Stewie and Brian. If anyone else asks, though, I will say I find it disgusting.

I hate to even say this,because it's something to do while you can't run... but I ran some steps at the Masonic Temple in DC this summer (over and over again as part of my run), and I think that's where my pain began in my hip/butt,,,,Gauge how you feel taking a tiny run after you get of the stair stepper to see. Just in case.

Hi Cheryl! Thanks for your note on my blog. Are any of you meeting sometime in the afternoon? Just want to meet up and go for a run with everybody and say Hi.

I must agree with you on the Family Guy sentiment. Stewie makes me laugh so hard sometimes, I end up getting a sideache!

Hmm--I don't feel pain when I do the stairmaster, but maybe I should be more careful. It is an intense workout so maybe I should do it every other day.

Steve--Thanks for the comment. I'm not running right now, trying to let my hamstring tendonitis heal. However, when I feel better I would love to see you again and go for a run. I'll talk to the others and maybe we can plan something. I'll let you know.
