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!

Not much today, 20 minutes on the stair master.  Actually, timewise it wasn't a lot, but exercise effort-wise it was quite a bit.  Nothing gives you an aerobic workout like that stairmaster.  I have a love/hate relationship with it.

I couldn't spend a lot of time at the gym today because my 9 year old's football team was making a visit to BYU.  We got to see the locker room, weight room and then we got to watch a practice.  Some of the players got into a scuffle right in front of us.  I thought that wasn't much of an example for these young boys, but it did make things interesting.  Then all the players came over and gave autographs to anyone who asked.  They were all very nice.  I was especially impressed with Bronco Mendenhall.  I saw a lot of kindness and goodness in the way he treated everyone.  Maybe I'm just a biased BYU fan, but I was just really impressed by him.  Harvey Unga was also really nice, he went up to all the boys and called them by name (they had their jerseys on with their names on them) and thanked them all for coming.  It was a fun experience and I will root even more vigorously for BYU now.

Cheryl, Bronco taught my Priest Quorum back when I was seventeen years old and he made an excellent impression on me back then. It is nice to know there are leaders that live what they teach. Glad you had an opportunity to meet him

That's cool that he taught you in Priest Quorum. I think he's a great guy and BYU is lucky to have him--in spite of that TCU game. I think they'll win from here on out. They'd better beat Utah or there will be a lot of weeping and wailing at my house.
