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!

Boy, I am getting a little lazy these days.  I thought about getting up and meeting with either Cheris' or Kelli's group, but I just couldn't do it.  I ended up running about 11am on the canal roads mainly.  I did run into Nancy Russell along the way.  She was basically just starting as I was finishing, but we had a nice little chat for a few minutes any way.  I noticed how she looked so relaxed as she was running.  I need to work on that more.  I did the 5 miles in a 9:07 average pace, which, all things considered, I am happy with.

Cheryl,

I'm sorry your thyroid is giving you so much trouble. Do you have any idea how long it will take to get under control so you can come back to running group?

Nancy,

I was going to have a procedure done this week for my thyroid that would have required me to stay away from people for a week. Now I'm not going to do it anymore, so I will be back at the group this week. Hope you're feeling better.

Great run, and I am all for the sleeping in! We try to run as late as possible on Saturdays since it is my only day to get sleep! But we had early games this week, darn it!

Glad you got in some fun miles!
