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
7.00

Today was an interesting day exercise-wise.  I first went to a class at the SJ Rec Center that works on lower body strength.  After that, I met Peggy, Debbie and Kris and ran probably two miles with them--they were finishing up a 6 mile run.  I couldn't run just 2 miles today, so I got on the treadmill and ran 4.25 more miles, then I rode my bike to pick up my car.  Needless to say, I didn't get a lot done around the house but I did have a good workout day.  Hopefully not too good, I hope to be fresh for our run tomorrow.

You totally put us to shame! I can't believe all the stuff you do! As for the housework, that's optional, isn't it? It should only be done if your running schedule allows it.

Also, Michelle finally set up a blog! I am so impressed--it is Razmatazz.

I totally agree, running comes first! I saw Michelle's blog, hopefully she won't give so many details next time. JK, Michelle, it's great that you're here.

Great job, Cheryl! It sounds like the "race" was fun, I really wish soccer had not started today (or that we had done 20 miles last week---yeah, that woulda been better). We wanted to come, darn it.

You are awesome to plan such fun runs (and some not so fun but necessary runs)! So so glad that someone talked me into coming! Too bad I did not join Cheris way back when, think of how fast I would be now?

See you next week.
