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 first went to the Rec Center and ran on the track there for 30 minutes.  I threw in a few little pick ups here and there.  Then I got on the treadmill and ran for almost 30 minutes at a VERY slow speed and 13% incline. (Kelli, believe me, if you go slow enough, it's not really that hard.  But thank you for being impressed by it).  I watched a few of my favorite shows during that.

13% on a treadmill? Did you use climbing ropes to manage that kind of run? You are simply incredible. I can only run uphill if there are promises of ice cream when I finish.

Are you interested in running Lisa's half marathon route on Saturday?

Nice workout. Looks like the New Year is off to a good start!

Eric--maybe I did eat ice cream after. That's probably why I recently gained about 5 pounds. I'm doing the TOSH thing again Saturday, so I won't be able to run that half marathon, although it does sound like fun.

Christi--thank you for the nice comment.
