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 with Steve today at Alta High at 6am.  Those there were Cheris, Michelle, Debbie and Alan.  We ran south and saw everyone preparing for the Draper 5K.  We stopped for a couple of minutes for Steve to talk with Sasha, then we were off.  We went to the road that leads up to Suncrest and ran up it for quite a ways.  Have you guys ever been on it, it is a pretty steep and steady uphill.  Steve says we'll run all the way up one of these days, I can't wait for that.  Maybe we'll bring our BBK group here someday.  After running that a few times, Veyo will seem like a piece of cake.  Then we had the screaming downhill which probably beat up my legs, and I'll feel it tomorrow.  Then it was pretty steady back to Alta, except for a stop at the park again to see how Sasha did.  Steve's prediction of 16:26 was off by 2 seconds.  Pretty good time prediction!  The others in the group wanted to go 16 miles, I was happy with 14, and my legs were saying, "Time to stop" so I hung out at the high school until they finished.   I felt pretty wasted when I got home, but nothing a little nap couldn't remedy.

Sounds like you had a great run! I always need a recovery nap on long run days, its like my little reward for running long.
