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 met with the group at Bingham High at 5:45.  We ran the approximately 6.5 mile route I had picked out last summer.  I tried to make the speedies start behind us so they would have to catch us and no one would get left too far behind.  However, it didn't seem to work, because they caught us early on.  I need to ask them to wait about 10 minutes before coming after us.  I ran the entire time with Lisa Hardy.  We had a nice time talking.  The only problem is that I went just a little faster than I wanted to go.  I kept thinking I needed to tell her I wanted to slow down, but you know how it goes, a little pride gets in the way and you just think you need to keep going fast.  We ran (literally) into Michelle, Cheris and Debbie who said the speedies took a wrong street, so we bagged the last little bit of the run and just finished thru Prospector.  I was more than happy to skip the last uphill street, although Prospector had its uphill also.  Cheris and Michelle were talking about running Boston.  Makes me think maybe I should go.  That's something to think about.  Anyway, it was a good run and I'm glad we got in almost 7 miles.

The "speedies" didn't mean to take a wrong street. We just figured that if we went down Bridle Oak then back up through Homestead we wouldn't get back to the school in time, so we bagged Bridle Oak Drive and just went down Homestead. Boston would be fun. You should think about it.

I should have known the "speedies" didn't get it wrong. That run did seem to go on and on and seemed longer than when we ran it last summer. Hmm, I wonder why? What do you think about Boston, do you have any interest in going in April?

I think the both of you ought to go to Boston. I don't know of any other runners that put in the time, work and give of your efforts to others like Peggy and Cheryl. If you are able to go you will have to give an in depth report when you come home.

I think the reason it felt longer this time is because we were running it faster last summer. :)

I haven't actually signed up for Boston yet, but I am probably going to go. Mike and I figure we'll stay at the same place as the rest of the gang and just hang out with them. It really would be fun for you to come, too.
