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!

It's exactly two months until the St. George marathon.  Time to get serious!  I met with some of the group at Bingham at 5:45 and we ran south on 2200W. to 114th So., then up to Daybreak.   We saw how the temple is progressing up there.  We then ran back by 9800 So. to the high school.  I was feeling in my "mean speedwork" mood I guess and suggested running some repeats on the "hill" there in the Bingham parking lot, so we did 5 of them.  I wanted to do more but didn't want everyone mad at me.  I ran a lot of the run by Nancy and her dog Duke.  I think I ran faster just being by Duke because he didn't want me to get ahead of him and we kind of turned it into a race.  That was fun!  Thanks Nancy and Duke.

Nice job! You guys always get quality work outs!

That sounds like a fun route. How was the traffic on 114th South?

So, were you NOT in your "mean" speedwork mood this morning? Do "mean" speedwork sessions only involve hill repeats and 30-30's? :)

Thanks Jody for always leaving nice comments.

Peggy--The route was fun, 114th wasn't too bad. I'd like to do another run in Daybreak, there are parts of it that might be fun to explore. I don't know about the mean speedwork stuff. I guess when I'm feeling good I can be mean, when I'm not I enjoy complaining. Complaining is sometimes the most fun.
