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!

I debated going to meet some of the BBK group for a 12 mile run, but I've been battling a little cold, so I wasn't sure I wanted to run outside in 25 degree weather (or thereabouts).  So I talked myself out of going.  I was thinking of going to the Rec Center and running on the track, but then about 9:30 I decided I felt ok, so I went to the canal road and ran there.  I'm becoming somewhat obsessed about experimenting with different ways of running, trying to figure out what works best.  I think I may have hit on something today, my garmin says I hit 5:40 for my best pace.  I've never been in the 5 minutes before.  Maybe the satellites were out of alignment or something.  Anyway, I did enjoy the run.  I need to start doing longer runs one of these days.

wow, I'm not sure a pace like that counts for a 'sick' day! Great job getting that run and pace in. The only trick is do you remember how you were running when you hit that pace?
