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!

Took my dog to a different place today--the trail at 9800 So. and Jordan River parkway trail.  I wanted to head north on the new section mainly, but ended up going south quite a bit.  It was windy once again--maybe even gale force winds.  I love the wind, bring it on.

Met the group at Bingham at 5:45.  It was a pretty nice day, warm, and I didn't really notice any wind, which was so disappointing.  I had planned some hill work, then some other running.   I thought it was fun, and I felt pretty good, not sick like I had been.   As long as we get our miles in, and also get in some fast running, I think it's been a successful day.  I did go talk to Bingham's assistant principal later, and he said he's pretty sure we'll be able to use the track, he just needs to get final approval from the principal.  So we can still call ourselves the Bingham Butt-Kickers.  We won't have to change our name to the Riverton rear end kickers or anything like that.

Later, I played my usual Tuesday night basketball.

Just a noneventful day on the treadmill.  I set it on its highest incline and just walked/ran for about 40 minutes.  I'm trying to build up more strength by doing the workouts on an incline.

I did a half hour on the treadmill where I put the incline up to 15%. Then I got driven up to the top of Glenmoor and I ran home. That was about 4.5 miles and my average pace was 9:12.
