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!

My legs felt great on Sunday after really bothering me last week.  Today, they felt really good again, as good as they've felt in a long time.  Why such a change over just a few days?  I don't know, but I'll take it.  I power walked on the treadmill for about 10 minutes, then the running workout.  I ran for 32 minutes at about an 8 minute pace.  The good news:  felt just a little sick after, nothing like I felt a week ago when I did almost the same workout.  Maybe my long thyroid nightmare is coming to an end (for those of you too young to remember, I'm taking that from something that was said in the Watergate era, that our long national nightmare was over.  My thyroid issue hasn't really been a nightmare, I just like the way it sounds).  Anyway, we'll see how things go tomorrow.  That will be the real test.
