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!

Met with the BBK group at the JRP trail at about 126th So.  It was a windy and cold morning.  There was a fairly strong wind running south, I didn't like that at all.  Then when we turned around, I was sure the wind had stopped because I felt nothing.  Then we turned around again and I realized the wind was still going strong.  The group was running (as it seems like is always the case) a little faster than I wanted to go.  I ran by Eric for some of the time and wanted to talk, but just didn't have the extra oxygen to say many words.  I really dislike the wind, so I didn't like this run too much.  It was fun being with my running friends, but I was glad when we were done.

Later I put in an extra two miles, running very slowly on the treadmill on a 13% incline.

13% incline???? Was that a typo or are you some kind of superwoman?

Not a typo, but not too hard to do when you run VERY slowly (emphasis on VERY, like 3.5 to 4.5 mph). So not as impressive as it might sound.

WRONG!!! That is impressive!
