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 met with the group at Parkway Palisades and we ran our two mile loop, which took me 17:51, then we ran over to Lampton View and up Tithing Hill.  It was pretty fun.  Warmer than I expected, I could have worn shorts but didn't because everyone gives me a hard time when I show up in shorts.  The group was pretty big this morning.

Tonight Julie Beck came to speak at our stake for enrichment night.  She was great.  I remember how people were bothered by her talk in conference about a year ago where she talked about "mothers who know."  I was wondering how she would be tonight, if she would give a "guilty inspiring" talk or just an inspiring talk.  I was thoroughly impressed.  She seems to be a great lady.

Interesting about Julie Beck. I wonder how much she personally heard about that talk. Did she mention it at all?

You know, she took questions from the group and I really wanted to ask her about that, but didn't have the courage. Now I wish I had. But she didn't mention anything about it.
