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!

Yesterday I had a low grade stomach ache all day.  I actually missed church, which was the first time in forever that I've missed church because of illness.  I blame my 9 year old, he came in my bed the other night and coughed all over me all night.  We took him to the doctor yesterday because he was complaining of an earache and the doctor said he won the prize for having the reddest ear he had seen that day.  So I must have picked up something from him.  Then when I woke up this morning  the ache was still there, so I wasn't sure I would get in a run at all today, but as the day progressed I felt better, so I got on my treadmill and actually had a pretty good run.  I ran for an hour doing one minute fast, one minute slow.  As long as I kept the slow minute really slow, I was able to hit the fast minute pretty fast, so I felt good about that.  Sorry to miss Steve and the group this morning, maybe next time.

Oh, there is something in the air! I feel cruddy, too. But, it is Tuesday and i still feel yucky. I can not eat cause it makes me sick, so I have no energy.

Anyway, you did great for not feeling well!
