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!

We met with Steve this morning at 6am at Alta High and ran south until the Draper trail and then kept on that until the road that leads up to Suncrest, I believe (maybe I'm wrong about that, it was a big hilly road anyway, maybe called Travers Ridge.)  Then we turned around and ran easy until about 126th So., then picked it up.  I thought it was good to finish a long run strong instead of the other way around.  It was a fun workout, I'm sure more than I would have done on my own, and more fun than on my own.  With Cheris, Michelle, Debbie, Alan and Steve, you're bound to have some interesting conversations.

VERY interesting conversations!

Great job today! I also try to pick up the pace for the last 2-3 miles of every long run. It's a big help psychologically as well as physically, especially when you can start passing people at the end of a race!

The interesting conversations always help the time go by too!

That sounds like a fun course. I'll have to try that sometime. Great job this week.
