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!

Ran with the group today.  At least, that was the intention.  We met at 5:30 at the River Front park and ran for about 20 minutes, then started the real workout.  Realized my legs were tight and achy and just did not feel like I could do the workout, which included hills.  So Debbie, Kris and I just decided to run easy, so we took off and ran to 9800 So. and then got on the parkway trail and ran there and up into the Parkway Palisades neighborhoods until we got in our mileage.  Felt bad about leaving our fun group, but didn't have it today.  Ran easy and flat, which was nice.  Looks like Peggy had a good workout for the others.  Probably need to take it easy this week so I feel good on Saturday for Ogden.

Then after getting the kids to school I went to yoga class at the So. Jordan Rec Center.  My difficulty in doing many of the poses shows I have very tight hips and hamstrings.  That is most likely the cause of many of my running issues.  Will work on more flexibility!

Hi Cheryl. It sounds like I missed a fun workout. I'm glad you finally have a blog.
