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!

Off track time, and that puts a crimp into my running.  I made it to the canal road and ran for a few minutes there, then went back to the treadmill and put in about 4 miles on that.  Nothing too exciting, but every day can't be.

Up about 4:40.  I drove to Riverton/Herriman to meet at Kelli and Scott's house.  We had 7 or 8 in the group today. Aaron Griffith was there for the first time in like a long time.  Kelli had told us there would be hills, and there were hills!!  But strangely enough, I enjoyed the hills.  We did some loop around Herriman that I could never figure out again on my own.  It was a beautiful morning, perfect temperature, nice views of the valley in parts.  I liked running/talking with everyone.  Thanks, Kelli, I really enjoyed that run and would like to do it again.  Hills are great!

Took it fairly easy today. All my miles were from pool running.

We ran around the Jordan Pkwy and up to 1000 W. and back to the Parkway.  We did that twice.  The first time I ran with Michelle P.  We ran it in about 22:19, which was an 8:28 pace.  After 5 minutes of feeling sick (sorry everyone for having to witness my problems, hopefully these will be over soon), I attempted to run it again.  It was tough because I was still feeling sick.  Kelli and Scott were nice enough to turn around and then Kelli ran with me.  I eventually got into a rhythm and didn't feel too bad by the end.  My pace was about 8:40 on that run.

Busy day.  My son had a track meet at Davis all day, plus I had a few things I needed to get done.  I was able to sneak in a short run in the middle of the day.  I ran mainly on the canal road and the neighborhoods by my house.  Did some 30-30's during the run to make it maybe a little more effective.
