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 just could not face the cold and wind outside today, so I ended up at the SJ Rec Center.  First, I did about 5 minutes on the stairmaster just to warm up, then I ran on the track.  I was planning just to do 3 to 4 miles, but ended up doing 5.  With about 10 laps being a mile, here are the splits:  8:05; 7:38; 7:25; 7:24 and 8:38.  39:12 for the 5 miles.  You can really hit the speed when you have no wind or hills or other obstacles to contend with.  Just people walking in the inside lanes, so you have to run around them.  I then got on the treadmill and spent 18 minutes on a 15% incline walking/running very slowly.  Wanted to go for 30 minutes, but I had to leave to pick up my daughter at Trax.

Cheryl.

I miss seeing you at the group and at the races. I hope you feel well enough soon to do the things you'd like to do.

Walter--I will see where I put that particular magazine and hopefully have it for you either Tuesday or Thursday at the group. I'm never quite sure where I put things, I need to be more organized!

Nancy--Thanks. I'm starting to feel better, so maybe I'll be at more races here soon.
