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 didn't start December off very well, barely getting in any running.  I was a little too keyed up about things to put in a decent run.  Hopefully the rest of the week will be better.

Met with the BBK's at the church at 3200 W. and 102 So.  I took off with the group and was surprised to see I could actually stay with the lead pack--at least for a while.  Gradually I began to fade, until I met up with Dean and then Lynette and we finished the run together.  I was really dragging at the end.  Our average pace was about 8:36, but that was with being a little faster at the start and a lot slower at the end.  I usually like to finish faster, so I'm just going to have to start slower.  I'm glad Peggy will now be the speed police and will keep us under control.

It was the old dreadmill, I mean treadmill, day.  I actually like the treadmill so I probably shouldn't be calling it that.  While watching my favorite shows, such as Regis and Kelli, and of course The View, I got in a pretty good workout.  I threw in some fast stuff there at the end, got the treadmill up to 10.6mph for a short distance (with no incline.)  It was fun.

I met the group at Peggy's house at 5:45am.  The group was just a little smaller than it's been lately.  Several, such as Kelli and Britta, are battling injuries.  We missed you guys!  Anyway, Peggy had a clever workout planned, the only problem was none of us could quite figure out how to do it right.  It had something to do with throwing gloves into a pile, and then exchanging gloves, and then exchanging partners, and then running in different directions.  It was too early in the morning for our brains to follow it all.  But I liked the idea of trying to think of something to do that was a little diferent.  We eventually just all grouped together and ran over to Y Worry Lane by the temple.  We had a fun political discussion.  Everybody seems to think about the same, so that made it nice, nobody to challenge our beliefs, we liked that.  I was just a little draggy this morning and once again ran a little faster than I really wanted, but it was fun to be out with the group.

I had a funeral for my husband's aunt this morning, so I put off running until later in the day, and guess what, later never really came.  I did go to the Rec Center and do the stairmaster for 20 minutes, then some back and ab exercises.  Another low mileage week.  Hope to pick it up next week, but you never know about this time of the year.
