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!

Even though I didn't have the greatest night's sleep, I was pretty determined to make it to early miles at 5:30, although part of me tried to talk myself out of it when it was time to get up.  The other determined part won today, although it doesn't always win.  We met at the Bingham track and ran about 3 miles for the warm-up.  104th So. is pretty bad with the construction, next time we'll try to avoid that road.  Then for the main workout.  I really came into the day not sure what I wanted to do.  I knew I wanted to do some short intervals on the track, but didn't want to do that for the entire hour.  So we did a 200-400 thing where we had a 200 recovery each time.  I wasn't sure how long to go on that until I realized that 4 400s was probably enough.  Then we ran kind of a tempo run to the Prospector Neighborhood and back.  I took that idea from when I ran with Robynn Masters many years ago, she would have us do some track work, then run us out around by the University of Utah.  That was always fun.  Then it was back to the track to finish with two 200s.  I think it's easier when you're the one in charge since you kind of know what's coming up next so you don't mind it too much when you see what comes next, especially if your the one who decides what comes next. Did that make any sense?  Anyway, it was a good workout, good job all you BBKers, we did good today!!  Or should I say we did well today!!  Or we did great!!  Whatever, you guys were awesome!

I think sometimes it is easier to NOT know what is coming next...I might be tempted to sneak off and take a nap in my car!!!

And you did GREAT today (Thursday), too. You are very strong.
