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!

A few easy miles on the treadmill, a few easy miles on the canal road, ran outside just as the storm was arriving.  Hope things are ok for tomorrow.

The snow kind of messed up the planned run for today, but I think we got in some good running nevertheless.  We went to a new subdivision off of the Parkway Trail by 106th So.  There was a nice hill we ran up and down a few times, then ran back to the cars by 1100 W.  Cold morning but I think still fun.  This evening I played a spirited game of basketball.  All that running has to count for something, doesn't it.

What a day, no energy, no real desire to run.  I spent about 20 minutes walking/running on the treadmill, then about 10 minutes on the stationary bike.  That part was fun.

The group met at the church at 12400 So. and 1100 W.  I got there early for the early miles because I wanted to show everyone where we were going to run the main workout.  I tried to include lots of up and down hills.  That seems to be a good neighborhood for that.  I wasn't feeling super great, so I tried to take things easy.  Any of you who didn't enjoy the hills, you probably just ran them too fast.  I took them easy (like I just said) and they really weren't that bad.  I did hear a few complaints, so maybe next week we'll just do one day of hills.

I did a short run on the canal road. It was fine running north, then we hit gale force winds (at least that's how it felt) running south. I no longer fight the wind, I just go with it. I wonder if anyone's ever done a survery to see how many days out of the year are windy in So. Jordan. It seems to me like it's always windy, though I'm sure there are probably more non-windy days than windy. What can we do? I then went to the Rec Center and did 20 minutes on the stairmaster and ran a few more laps there. Funny thing, there was no wind running in the Rec Center, so that was very enjoyable.
