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

5.00

I' m going to start recording my cross-training as mileage so it doesn't look like I'm doing nothing. I first went to the Rec Center at 9:00 for a yoga class. I need all that stretching and other stuff,. Then I went upstairs and did the stair master for 40 minutes. That is quite the workout. I feel like that has got to be keeping me in running shape, at least somewhat, right? I then did the elliptical, pedaling backwards, for 10 minutes. It was a lot of fun. I miss my running group a lot, but I've got to say I've enjoyed this cross-training. But, BBK group, you are still my first love! Hope to be back soon.

Thanks, Jody and Julie. You guys are too nice. I can't wait to get back running with you! I like reading your blogs and keeping up on what you're doing.

Remember you can also cross train on the bike, maybe we will see you on the wheels. But, we do miss you in the morning, make sure you get better and don't come back to fast.

Thank you, Dean, I really appreciate that. I would like to ride my bike, but it's too cold in the morning--I know, I sound like a wimp. I just don't like the cold. I am trying to be really disciplined and not run until everything is healed up totally. But I do miss you guys a lot!!

Miss you, too! But I love the starimaster---it is a great workout so enjoy it while you can becasue you are back to us when you are healed!

Too cold? Cheryl, you don't break out the tights unless it is 20 degrees or lower! I think the forecast is upper thirties in the morning. Just ribbing you a bit. I do hope you feel better but Dean is right, you don't want to rush back too quickly.
