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!

So today was the day of my daughter's wedding. Doesn't seem that long ago when I was getting married and then two years later having her. Where does the time go? I think everyone wonders that. Anyway, things didn't get started until 4pm, so I had a fairly free morning, so I got on the treadmill and ran fast, just to get in a really good run, although it was short. I did a 5K in 20:40, with the treadmill on a decline, so take that into consideration when you consider the time. It's always easier to run downhill. So I felt good after that. It poured down rain at 3:45, it cleared up by 4:15, we had about 45 minutes to do the ceremony and take pictures, then it poured down rain again around 5:00. We decided to move the reception into our stake center. Everyone in the family was so helpful, it was amazing to see how fast they set up the church. When they were done, it looked almost like that's where we'd planned all along to have the reception. It actually turned out really nice, well attended and I think it actually was a better locale to hold the reception, more room, pretty able to spread out and visit with each other. It just wasn't as beautiful as the back yard we'd planned to have it in, but oh well, considering everything it turned out to be a great and very fun day.
