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!

A few of us--Cheris, Michelle, Nancy and Eric--met at 5:30am and drove up to Popperton Park and ran down 11th Avenue, then around into City Creek Canyon for a little ways up, then back down thur Memory Grove, then up the stairs and back to B Street..  Then we did one of my favorite runs, where you go up an avenue, then over, then up, then over, and repeat that pattern until we got back to 11th Avenue.  The hills were tough, but they didn't seem as hard as when I've run them in the past.  Maybe my bigger mileage base is helping there.  We then ran back to our cars at Popperton and had a fun ride home.  We did see Chad during the run, he came zipping by us.  We also saw my friend Ann Cannon.  Memory Grove is very pretty and was probably my favorite part of the run--except for those hills!!

 P M--took Schneider and ran easy on the canal  road for 30 minutes.  I'll count that as 2.5 miles

By all accounts, Cheryl, you were very fast yesterday on the hills. Way to go.

Thank you Peggy for that very nice comment. I think all our running and hill training may be paying off because like I said the hills didn't seem as intimidating as they have been in the past.
