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 went to the track at 6am to meet our running group.  We did a workout I found in a book by Matt Fitzgerald.  Actually, I modified it because it didn't seem like it had us doing enough.  We ran a 1200, my time was 5:37; then an 800, time 3:45; then a 400, time was 1:41.  Then we ran a two mile tempo run on the road.  My time for that was 16:02.  Then one more 400 on the track, time again was 1:41.  That's the first track workout I've done in a while, it was kind of fun, but I was worried about pulling something the entire time.  Fortunately, I don't think I did any damage.  I wouldn't mind doing more track work after the marathon.

I thought it was fun, just the right amount on the track---not too much, but enough! THANKS!

Thanks, Eric, we missed seeing you there, but it sounds like you've had some good workouts since the marathon--amazing how you're able to run so soon after.

Kelli--I'm glad you thought it was fun. Love these taper weeks where we don't have to feel like we have to kill ourselves.
