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 was planning to meet with Peggy and Debbie at 6:30am to run for about an hour, but this morning the mattress won the battle.  So thank goodness for treadmills, because I don't think I would have run outside later when it was hot.  I ended up doing two 5-K's on the treadmill, on a decline, and my times were 21:40 and 21:45.  Don't be fooled by those times, I think running is easier on a treadmill, especially when there's a decline.  Probably on the road the best I could do on a 5K right now is around 24 minutes.  But I enjoyed the workout because I worked up a really good sweat.  Is that bad to enjoy sweating?  Only in the privacy of my own home.   I once read to be healthy you should sweat every day, so today I'm feeling pretty healthy.  I think those downhill runs will be good for St. George because that is such a downhill course.  You don't feel that way at Veyo, but everyone says it's downhill, so I have to go along with that.

PM--I did some hill sprints that Steve wants me to do. Don't know exactly how much mileage I did, but with warm-up and cool-down it had to be at least 1 mile.
