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!

I met with the running group at 5:45.  The plan for today was to try and keep the group somewhat together, at least for part of the run.  I think it worked fine, we were able to talk to a lot of different people and it just felt more like a group run.  I don't know if everyone wants to do it that way everytime, but I enjoyed it.  Last Thursday I felt a little in "no man's land," knowing the group was out there somewhere in the mist ahead of me, but not really being able to see or talk to anyone besides who I was running right next to.   What do the rest of you guys think, what do you prefer?  Do you like staying with the group more or do you prefer running your pace for the distance and not having to worry about regrouping?  

In any event, it was great being back with my group, I was on a type of runner's high all morning just enjoying being back out running again with the fun group!

I did go to yoga at the Rec Center at 9:00.  I've decided I have to do yoga if I want to continue to be a runner.   I need all the stretching and strengthening.  It's rough getting older, you seem to need more maintenance.  I enjoy yoga too, the teacher is calm and relaxing, just what I need, and I get to visit with some neighbors I don't normally talk to very often.  All in all, a fun morning.

I think the plan is great Cheryl. As long as we know we have to turn around after 5 minutes. I kind of got mixed up on what we were supposed to do and led everyone astray. Sorry. I'll see ya tomorrow:)

Michelle--You were fine, I think it went well yesterday. We at least got to see everyone and talk to several we don't often get to talk to. So you did great, no worries!!
