Stay strong, run well for many more years.  Still set PR's in my 50's.

Learn how to run more relaxed and efficient.

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
8.50

We met at the church by 9700 So. and 2200 W. and ran thru the neighborhood west of there for our warm-up.  Then we ran about a 6 mile tempo run, starting running downhill down 9800 So. to the Parkway Trail, south until 106th So., up there until 1000W., then back up 9800.  I ran with Nancy's daughter Christine, a young fast gal.  I wasn't sure who was setting the pace, but I seemed to be breathing harder than she was.  I was glad I was able to run a good pace, but I think I would have enjoyed the run more if I had run just a tad bit slower. Overall I felt it was a good workout.

Good job! Nice, consistent week! Do you mind telling me what a "grand master" is?

I didn't know what it was either until I went to the 15K race put on by the Salt Lake Track Club in February. They had grand master awards for that race. It just means you're 50 or older and I am the ripe old age of 50 so I qualified. Thanks for the comment.
