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 wanted to meet with some in the group to run this morning, but I was fasting again for my blood test, so decided to run after the test.  So I ended up running around noon, the heat of the day, but it wasn't too bad because of the cloud cover.  I ran for 60 minutes straight, stopped to drink and rest a few minutes, then ran for 30 minutes.  I will count that as 9 miles.  I ran mainly on the canal roads.

how cool our birthdays are on the same day and we both are masters runners!! I think you need to change your "goal type" you already have established your ability to finish marathons - I would think age group winner would be more your goal? Especially with a 3:35 and from the grandmasters division!

Bonnie--yes, I wish "Marathon PR" was an option. I feel like age group winner, especially at St. George, is a little too ambitious, since last year the winner in my age group was around 3:15. But at smaller races I'm sometimes the winner in my age group (50-54). Too bad you won't be running St. George, but Taiwan sounds awfully exciting. You are quite the world traveller!
