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 was thinking about meeting Cheris, Michelle, and Jody for a 22 miler at 5am, but my kids came home too late last night and 4:30 came too early, so no 22 miler for me.  I did go out and run easy, easy, easy for 1hr45m (did I mention it was easy?) on the canal road and then to the new Bingham stadium where I ran on the field and added a few sprints.   Who knows how many miles I ran?  I'll give myself 10 because I'm sure that, although it was easy, easy, easy, it was probably at least 10:30 minute miles.

Then later, after talking with Cheris and hearing about their strong 22 mile run, I thought I should get in a few more miles.  I got on the treadmill during the second half of BYU's game and ran for 8 miles.  I must have been inspired by BYU's 59-0 blowout of UCLA because I went further and faster than I thought I would.  It was a great run!  Thank you BYU!!

We missed you this morning, but I understand the need for sleep! Great job getting back on the treadmill and cranking out some more miles!

Great job today, Cheryl! You packed those miles in, as always!
