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!

Busy night last night, my kids were preparing for youth conference and had friends over late, I guess the night before party, so I slept a bit fitfully.  I therefore did not get up early for my group, missed the 5:30 run but met them at the church on 3200 W. and 102So. at 6am.   We ran just under 7 miles; I ran with Kris and Lynette and tried to keep the pace fairly easy because of our second run tonight with Steve.  Of course, I always run a bit faster than I probably should.  One of these days I'm going to run a truly easy run; hopefully tomorrow!

PM--We (Michelle, Cheris and I) met with Steve at Alta High at 7:00 and we ran up I guess it's called Bell Canyon road.  It was very pretty.  We did 4 miles up and then down, throwing in a few faster surges along the way.  It was fun.  If we do something like that regularly, we'll be well prepared for St. George.

Good job on todays workout. You ran well and with really good effort on the faster stretches.

Wow! Yeah, I think you'll be ready to rock at St. George with that kind of mileage!

Shauna--Thanks for the nice comment.

Steve--We all really enjoyed last evening's run; thank you. I told Michelle you wanted her to start blogging and she said she would. See you Monday
