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!

When I got up this morning, I felt like I had been hit by a truck. I  don't remember being that tired in a long time.  And the funny thing is, I did basically nothing yesterday, it was a day of rest.  Anyway, I did not make it out for an early run, so I was kind of stuck because my 9 year old is home and I don't like leaving him.  But we did have fun doing Wii Fit together, we ran a couple of races, then I did the stationary bike for about 20 minutes.  Finally, about 5:30, I made it to the Rec Center.  I was expecting it to be fairly quiet because I didn't think people really worked out at what I consider almost dinner time, but it was packed!  Hard to run the pace I wanted on the track because there were so many people.  I don't think anyone there has heard of the rule of leaving the inside lane open for the runners--lots of walkers in the inside lane.  I made 3 miles anyway, with my times being 8:31, 8:07, and 7:58.  I then did 10 minutes on the stair stepper.  So what seemed like it wasn't going to be a great working out day ended up being ok.
