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 was back to the Rec Center track.  I feel sorry for anyone who ran outside today, that wind seemed pretty brutal.  I guess it makes you tough, though (do you notice how tough and though are spelled almost the same but pronounced very differently, no wonder people say English is a difficult language)  Anyway, I digress.  I ran 4 miles, and I did notice my times, but then my watch didn't work right, so I'm going from memory.  I think my splits were:  8:47, 8:11, 7:47 and 8:00.  I'm still working on a new technique my chiro has helped me with, it does seem to make running a little easier and much less painful--takes a lot of the stress off the hamstrings.  So I'm happy about that.  I also did a little stair master, can't resist that machine.

WOW, those are some super speedy awesome splits!!! Great job!

We did not have wind while we ran, really. There was a little, but not much, and we ALWAYS have wind. HMMM???
