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

6.50

Up about 4:40. I drove to Riverton/Herriman to meet at Kelli and Scott's house. We had 7 or 8 in the group today. Aaron Griffith was there for the first time in like a long time. Kelli had told us there would be hills, and there were hills!! But strangely enough, I enjoyed the hills. We did some loop around Herriman that I could never figure out again on my own. It was a beautiful morning, perfect temperature, nice views of the valley in parts. I liked running/talking with everyone. Thanks, Kelli, I really enjoyed that run and would like to do it again. Hills are great!

I have to tell you thanks for all the hill workouts. Those Boston hills didn't even feel like hills (the up anyway), the down kind of killed me. You really need to go and experience it. It was so amazing. Thank you again for all you do for the group!

It sounds like you might be feeling a little better. I hope so. I hope to come back to running group someday, but for now I just have to be satisfied with swimming and biking.

Michelle--Boston did sound like a lot of fun, and you ran a great race. I'm glad your leg held up ok, and I'm glad the hill workouts were helpful. We'll have to start doing more of them soon!

Nancy--sorry that you're not able to run right now. Sometimes I feel like my legs have just given out. Could age have something to do with it? Get well and maybe we'll see you back before not too long.

ANYTIME!!! I much prefer rolling out of bed and walking out the door to run! Thanks for letting us host.

And thanks for chatting with me today! Hope I did not bore the socks of of you.

Cheryl,

Great to see you Thursday, hope all is well. Alan, Debbie and I took a break from the hills but next week sounds like a great time to get back into the fray.
