Learn how to run more relaxed and efficient. 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! |

| | The group ran repeats around Canterwood and Rustic Roads. We all kind of got split up, so I ran mainly with Nancy R. My times were all around 4:40 going up Canterwood and 3:40 going down Rustic Roads--these times are approximate, but I think pretty close. | | Add Comment |
| | Today was TOSH day--treadmill sprints and form work. Once again, it was quite difficult. She wanted me to run at 10.5mph on about a 5% incline for two minutes. Well, I wasn't about able to do that. I made it to 1:02, which I thought was pretty good, running a sub 6 minute pace on an incline. I've decided I need to get stronger, so I'm going to try and run hill sprints every day for a while to see what that does for me. I went home and ran a little more on my treadmill, then I went to basketball practice and had fun running there. | | Add Comment |

We met by Kelli's and Scott's house today. I like going there because there are hills everywhere you look. Kelli led us thru a run that took us up some pretty good hills, then we finished with a fairly easy run back to the church. It was a good workout.
Later, I ran some hill sprints on my treadmill; I have a goal of running hill sprints on the treadmill every day for a while hoping to build up some strength.
Then for the fun evening. I play church basketball on a stake team that is mainly composed of middle-aged housewives (sorry, I don't know how else to describe it) and some younger women. Basically all of us just play for fun and exercise. I don't think any of us have had any real training in basketball fundamentals. Usually we play teams similar to us. Well, tonight we played a team composed of younger looking women (probably not many over 30), and several of them looked like they had probably played high school ball. We were no match for them. However, I had fun because it was a very up tempo game, like a track meet, non-stop running back and forth. I felt good because I was able to keep up with them and run the court as well as anyone there. One of the refs even complimented me on my "hustle." It was a great workout. Besides losing by twenty points, I wouldn't mind playing basketball like that every week. | | Add Comment |
| | More hill sprint work. I was pretty tired after yesterday, so I took things pretty easy. | | Add Comment |
| | I thought I had a basketball game at 10:00 this morning, so I didn't want to run long for fear of wearing out my legs. Then I found it was cancelled, so I just ran some treadmill hill sprints plus some longer intervals. I enjoyed that better than a long run. | | Add Comment |
