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!

I feel like I need to update my blog.  I decided after the marathon to take time off to let whatever is ailing my legs to heal up.   I went to a physical therapist on Thursday and the problem was diagnosed as ischial tuberosity which I guess is a fancy way of saying I have tendonitis on the upper part of the hamstrings on both legs.  My chiropractor agrees that is the problem also.  I'm getting treatment from both the PT and chiropractor and hopefully the problem will heal quickly and I'll be back to running soon.  In the meantime, I'm trying to do cross-training, with a little biking, a little stair-stepping, a little elliptical and maybe some pool running as part of the regime.  I feel I need to give my body a break from the constant pounding of running.  So don't expect any big mile weeks from me anytime soon.
