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!

We met at Parkway Palisades today to run hills.  First we did a warm-up around the cemetery, then it was to our old familiar routes in the Parkway Palisades neighborhood.  We ran the two mile loop, and my time was just under 17 minutes.  Then we did our mile repeats on the hilly street.  My times there were 9:07 and 8:53.  I tried not to push them too hard and keep them at marathon effort.  If I can run the Veyo hill mile in 9 minutes, I'll be happy.  I don't think I've ever been under 9 for that.  Then Peggy and Debbie went to run some more miles, and at the time I didn't feel like it, but later I felt guilty about not doing the extra, so I ran on my treadmill for around 2 miles, so that's how I got my total mileage.  Felt pretty good today.  Last night I did some hamstring curls and for the first time in forever my left hamstring didn't hurt, so maybe I'm finally healing up there.
