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!

When I woke up, I felt like a truck had hit me.  I was still recovering from yesterday's running.  So I thought maybe I would just take today off or maybe pool run only.  I ended up going to the Rec Center, doing a few exercises, looking at the pool, debating whether to pool run, looking more at the pool, and finally feeling like I could run on the treadmill, so I did four really good miles there.  It ended up being a nice run.  Sometimes it takes a while to talk myself into running.  That's why the group is so nice, we have a definite time and place to meet, and there's no hem-hawing around about it.

Hang in there Cheryl. You still had a good low-monotony schedule this week. You girls are doing great. Looks like I may have to wear that skirt after all...

I agree 100%---it is getting me out of bed in the morning EARLY, and without complaining. When I say I will be there, I am there.

Thanks for motivating me!
