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!

Today was an interesting running day.  I first got on my treadmill around 6:30 and ran a warm-up with some fast sprints intermixed.  That was about 2 miles.  Then I went to run a 5K that a young man working on his Eagle project was sponsoring.  It was down on the Jordan Parkway trail by 106th So.  My time was 24:39, not a great time, in fact my slowest 5k in a long time, but I was happy with it because when I went in I thought anything in the 24's and I'd be happy.   The last few times we've done practice 5ks I've been in the 26 minute range. At the turn-around I was about 13 minutes, so I thought the best I'd do would be in the 25's.  I guess I picked it up the 2nd half to finish where I did.  Then I ran another 6 miles, slowly, with Debbie, Peggy (who won the women's portion of the 5k) and Alan.  Almost hit 50 miles this week, not quite, but I was happy with the week because I put in a lot more miles than I think I ever have before and it really wasn't that hard.  Running slowly and with the group makes a difference.
