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 keep wanting to join the group for the Saturday run, but first of all,  I get to bed too late on Fridays.  That's really not the best excuse, because I could get up if I really wanted to.   I guess the best reason is I don't quite want to run that many miles yet, plus I hate running in the cold and the snow.  So I had lots of excuses for not going this morning.  I ended up on the treadmill, first doing 30 minutes easy walking/running, then a fast 5K  on a decline.  That was fun, but boy my legs were sore after.   Downhill running does seem  to be hard on some leg muscle.  The rest of the day I spent in the cold and wind watching a track meet at Timpanogos  High.  It started getting nice just as the meet was ending.  The Bingham boys came in first place.  Maybe we should call them the Bingham Butt Kickers.
