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!

Easy running and then some uphill treadmill sprints.

The group met at the Parkway Trail at 9800 So. and we just ran easy along it.  Fun to talk with everyone and to hear about the Ogden marathon.   Avg. pace was about 9:10.

 Met this morning at 6 to bike ride with Dean, Lisa D. and Dean's son Ryan.  We rode up 114th So. to 40th West, by the temple, then back down 9800 So.  Then we did a time trial on our SJ 5K route.  It took me 11:11.  At the end, I had a flat tire.  Besides that, it was a lot of fun.  Later I did hill sprints on the treadmill.  That is always fun.

The group met at Bingham.  I decided that since the last 3 sessions have been pretty mellow, tapering for and then recovering from the Ogden marathon,  I wanted to do something a little more intense today.  So we ran our tried and true 2 mile loop twice.  The first time we did it in 15:37, the second in 15:01.  I ran with Michelle M. and Curt Evans both times.  The difference was I was breathing hard, they were hardly breathing.  It was fun. I think, no I know, that's the fastest I've run that loop in like forever, or at least in the past year of so.   It feels good to be getting a little speed back again.  I had a little sickness after the first one, none after the second.  I won't be happy until there's none whatsoever.

I wanted to do some serious yard work today, like plant flowers, so the running took a hit.  I figure a day off now and then can be a good .

Once again, wanted to spend a day on the yard, so I just got in a short run, 4 miles on the treadmill.  Debbie came over later and helped with her artistic eye to arrange the flowers in a nice way.  Nice of  her to help with that.
