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!

Total Distance

6.50

Met with the BBK's at the church at 3200 W. and 102 So. I took off with the group and was surprised to see I could actually stay with the lead pack--at least for a while. Gradually I began to fade, until I met up with Dean and then Lynette and we finished the run together. I was really dragging at the end. Our average pace was about 8:36, but that was with being a little faster at the start and a lot slower at the end. I usually like to finish faster, so I'm just going to have to start slower. I'm glad Peggy will now be the speed police and will keep us under control.

Good job Cheryl! I hope your injury problems are all behind you.

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 03, 2008 at 14:38:26

I think I will even be behind the speed police, but at least I will be able to see you guys!

From Cheryl on Wed, Dec 03, 2008 at 14:42:48

Thanks, Cal. That's a good play on words, "behind" you. Get it? All my injury problems are definitely behind me. And they are getting much better, also. Sounds like you're doing a lot better also, which is great.

Kelli, if you're at all behind the speed police, it won't be by much. I'm going to push for 8:45 or maybe even slower pace. We'll see.

I missed you guys this morning too. I really hope this is not a long process to get over.

From Kelli on Thu, Dec 04, 2008 at 20:06:11

Hmmmmm, nobody has posted about Thursday's run! Maybe everyone slept in and no one showed up!

From Cheryl on Fri, Dec 05, 2008 at 17:08:22

Britta--good luck, injuries are never fun, but what can you do? You just have to heal up, and then you'll be out running as strong as ever.

Kelli--I finally posted for Thursday. I really wanted to sleep in, but forced myself out. It was fun, we did miss you and some of the others who usually come. Erico, where have you been?
