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!

Our first bad weather run of this winter.  I met the BBK's at Bingham at 5:45.  There was already a large group of them who had met at 5:15 to run.  Way to go, guys, I admire your dedication, especially on a morning like today.  If I hadn't been in charge of the run, I probably wouldn't have been there at all.  Anyway, we just all kind of stayed together on our run thru the neighborhoods near Bingham.  I was feeling very tight, kind of like I felt all last summer.  Don't know if it was just the cold weather or what, but I have been slacking a little on my stretching lately.  One of these days it will get thru my head that I ideally should stretch just about as much as I run.  So after getting the kids to school, I spent 30 good minutes really working on the stretching and yoga stuff that I know I need to do.  It was fun running with the group in the snow today--but I still prefer summer running.

Cheryl,

Thanks for a fantastic run this morning. It was a ton of fun and I sure loved the pace. Don't we have an awesome group to run with or what?

Sorry we missed you, but we did enjoy our run! It was so quiet in the snow. And I loved making the first footprints all the way up the hills!!!

Hey, I had pain today, too, and I KNOW it is because I have not been stretching!! We kind of forget about it when the pain goes away. DANG IT! I need to do better or I will bench myself again!

Eric--it was a great pace, and we do have a great group to run with. I appreciate your always positive and complimentary attitude.

Kelli--I know, once things start feeling better, we get lax on the stretching. Got to keep stretching, no matter how good we feel. I appreciate you always leaving nice comments.

It was GREAT to see you this morning Cheryl! Britta and i were so impressed to see you not in shorts for a change. We did not know if you ever wore pants to run.

Have a great day!

Kelli--occasionally I give in to peer pressure and wear long pants. At my age and having frequent hot flashes, I really warm up fast while running. Glad you guys could make it today.
