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 not a great day.  I met with our Bingham group at 5:30 and we started by running a 25 minute warm-up that felt too hard the entire way.  The pace was probably about 9:30.  Then Peggy had us do some speed where we ran half mile repeats.  I just didn't have it today, I really struggled.   Makes me wonder whether I ran too fast yesterday and was feeling it today, because I did push the pace a little yesterday, averaging 9 minute miles when Steve told me I should be closer to 10 minute miles on my easy days.   Or was it a recovery issue, maybe I didn't recover fully yesterday.  I want to be able to run well on most days, I don't want to feel trashed, so maybe I need to make my easy days even easier.

Sorry it felt hard, but you did 8 miles! Nothing to feel bad about! I agree with making the easy days easier!

Kim--Thanks for the comment. I think after how I feel today that I will definitely make the easy days easier.
