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!

We met with the group at 5:30am at the trailhead by 9800 So. and the Jr. River Parkway.  Jody from the blog was there for the first time, so to welcome her to the group, she got to drive us up to the top of 9800 So.  Thanks, Jody!  We then ran down; the idea was to practice downhill running, trying to get us ready for Top of Utah and SGM.  I ended up running with Jody and Cheris for most of it.  We went past the trailhead and ran up to 700 W., so we got a few hills in there also.  It was a fun run, much easier running down then up obviously.  The others there were Peggy, Lynette, Dean and Greg R. 

Later I took my 9 year old to the Rec pool.  I pool ran and did other exercises while he swam and played around.  This way I got in another workout but didn't feel guilty because I was spending "quality time" with my son.  I'm crediting myself with two more miles of running because I ran for about 30 minutes.
