I ran 3 miles with Duke before work.  It was a good run.

I met the group at the park at the bottom of tithing hill for the early

miles.  I got there early and started running and met up with Julie who

also came early.  We ran for about 8 minutes and then met the rest of

the group.  We ran north on the trail and then up through the

subdivision and up and down several large hills.  Carissa was going

slower than usual so I was able to visit with her along the way.  I had a

nice visit and a good run and then I had to leave so I could be to work

by 6 am.

I woke up at 3:50 and laid there until 4:45 and then I got up and ran 3 miles with Duke.  Then I went to the temple.  After lunch and a short nap I planted flowers.  I'm sure glad it is finally nice weather.  I'm excited to be off work for the summer.

Leslie didn't want to get up early to run and I had to be to the church at 8 to help clean so I met the group at Julie's house at 5:30.  I started off right away because I knew they would catch me in no time.  I kept running out to 118th and south until 3600 west and they still didn't catch me.  Finally after I crossed 3600 they caught up with me.  They said they ended up waiting for Cheris.  When I got to 40th west I turned north and they kept going west.  I ran north on 40th up past the temple and down to Leslie's house.  I woke her up and waited while she got ready and then we ran back.  On the way back the group caught up with us just after 3600 west.  When we got back I had Minon's sister whose name just left my mind follow me home so I could give her my water bottle pack that I don't use.  It was a good run and the weather was perfect.

This morning Duke and I went to Leslie's to run.  We ran north on 40th west and then turned west into the subdivision across from the church.  We ran west for a while and then turned south until we came to 106th and then we went east to 40th west and back to Leslie's.  Duke was so excited I could hardly hold him back at first.  Leslie was surprised how fast we went with Duke pulling me.

This afternoon I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with mens pushups.  I did 60 then took a 30 second break and did 25 more.

I was going to sleep in this morning and then just go to running group at 5:45, but I woke up at 4:30 and couldn't get back to sleep.  There were 5 of us at Peggy's for the early miles.  Lisa Dudley was there today and it was great to see her.  We did a loop through the subdivision and out to 13th west and then back through the subdivision and eventually back to Peggy's to meet the others.  About 8 others came for the regular workout.  We did a partial loop through the subdivision and then met back at Peggy's where we did laps around her block for the rest of the time.  My goal was to just keep running until the end.  I had to walk for a few minutes before my last 3 laps because I got a pain in my foot like I have been getting lately.  After I walked the pain went away and I did my last 3 laps visiting with Debbie because the rest of the group went to do hills.  It was a good workout and I was very tired at the end.

After Leslie got off work she and I went on our first bike ride.  We rode from her house up around daybreak and back.  The weather was perfect and it was a nice ride.  We went 8 miles.  Next time we'll go farther.

This morning I ran 3 miles with Duke.  Then I got cleaned up and picked up Leslie and went to her temple since mine is closed.

This morning before I ran with Leslie I was thinking of going to running group but since Leslie and I were running 6 I changed my mind.  It is a good thing I didn't run with the group first because felt very tired running 6 with Leslie.  We did our 6 mile daybreak course.  Maybe it was because we didn't run until 7 so it was a little warmer, any way I felt very tired running and was glad we were only going 6.

I came home and did some cleaning and then helped clean the kitchen at the church, then I did indexing had lunch and a nap.  Then I got out my cushions for our patio furniture.  Now I am going to do my arm weight exercises and then make dinner.

I ran 3 miles with Duke at 5am this morning.  Then I ate breakfast and did some cleaning before I went to Leslie's ride bikes.  We did our same 8 miles course as last time.  It was pretty chilly this morning biking.

This morning I went to Leslie's and we did our 6 mile daybreak course.  I was just as tired as I was the last time we did it.  We saw them setting up for the Daybreak Triathlon and we weren't even sad that we were not doing it.  It was a good run and we both had things to do today so we didn't have time to do a longer run.

This morning Duke and I did our usual Monday morning run with Leslie.  We enjoyed the run and Duke especially; liked running in the neighbors sprinklers when we got back to Leslie's.

I met the group at Riverton High for at the early miles.  We ran north and then down a street and then back past the seminary to the parking lot to pick up the stragglers.  Then we ran out to 2700 and then south to 126th and then west.  The group was ahead of me and so I didn't see exactly which street they turned on so I turned north and then a few street to the north I turned east.  I ran to the end of the street and was hoping it led to 2700 but it ended up being a circle and it circled around back to where I turned in so I ran back out to  126th and headed east until I got back to the School.  When the rest of the group got there we did a 1 mile warm up run and then did speed work on the track.  My goal was to keeping going the whole time.  I couldn't run very fast but I did keep running.  After I ran a couple of mile I walked one lap and then ran a couple more miles.  It was a good run and I was very tired at the end.

Yesterday afternoon I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  Along with 60 mens pushups, a 30 second break and then 30 more.

This morning I ran 3 miles with Duke.  I enjoyed the run and Duke loved it.  Then I went to a storage auction and then to the splash park with two of my daughters and their kids.  It was fun.

Leslie has a sinus infection so I ran with the group.  We met at Centennial Park in Riverton but I was a couple minutes late for the early miles and they had already left.  Luckily Michelle Margetts was late too so we both went the other direction to catch them.  We ran out to 134th and then west towards 3600 west.  We ran and visited for about 15 minutes and didn't run into the rest of the group so we decided to turn around and head back.  When we got back Dean was there but the others weren't so we turned around and saw them coming.  We did the same loop two more times but I turned around at 3600 and headed back and got back at the same time as the group both times.  It was a good run and I was very tired at the end.

I ran with Duke this morning.  We did our usual 3 mile route.

This morning I ran 3 miles with Duke.  It was was a good run.

I met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  We did our usual 3 mile route.  After the others got there we did a 1 mile warmup and then ran around the track.  After running a few miles around the track we did another mile run outside the track and then we came back and did another couple laps around the track.  It was a good run and I was very tired.  It really amazes that I can run slow and still feel so tired.

This morning I ran my usual 3 miles with Duke.  We passed the same man that I talked to on Monday while I was running with Duke.  We also passed him when we turned around and headed back because he was coming back the other direction.

This morning at 5 am I walked a mile with my son and Duke.  Then I made breakfast, cleaned and did indexing before I called and woke Leslie up.  Then Leslie and I did our usual 6 mile daybreak course.  I felt more tired today, probably because it was a lot warmer today.

After I got home I did a lot of cleaning and then took a nap.  After my nap my husband and I went to the temple.

When I got back from the temple I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with mens pushups.  I did 50 then took a short break and did 50 more.  I really got a good workout today and was very tired by bedtime.

I ran 2 miles with Duke this morning while my son walked.  Then I went to Leslie's and we did an 8 mile bike ride.  Since I don't know how to separate bike miles from running miles I just put them together.  It was a nice run and bike and I enjoyed them both.

This morning I walked a mile with my son and since we were having a garage sale today we put up signs.  Then at 6:30 I called Leslie and woke her up and we ran only ran 4 miles because we were going to Okubos Greenhouse for their 50% off sale.  Then I had to hurry home for my garage sale.  After the garage sale I walked another mile to take down the signs.

This morning at 5am I went on a 1 mile walk with my son.  Then I came home ate breakfast and did some cleaning before I called Leslie to wake her up.  Then Duke, Leslie and I did a 3.5 mile run.  This time we just went straight north on 40th west instead of running up the hill.  Duke was very excited when we started out and went very fast, but he got hot on the way back and slowed down.  It was a good workout.

This morning at 4:45 I walked a mile with Ben and Duke and then I met the group at Riverton for the early Miles.  We did our usual course and then met the others for a mile warmup and then did speed work.  When we do speed work I don't run too fast but I try to do a mile under 11 minutes.  I did each mile in 10:39 and then did 1 lap walking.  With the walking I did 3 and a half miles on the track.  Then we ran out to the road to do a mile warm down.  It was nice to see Rachel and Michelle N at the group today.

Ben, Duke and I walked a mile and then I went to the temple.  After I got back I did indexing and then cleaning.  After lunch and a nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 50 pushups.

I walked a mile with Duke and Ben and 5am this morning.  Then I had breakfast, cleaned the kitchen and called and woke Leslie up.  We were going to run our usual Day break 6 mile course but Leslie was on call for work and after we ran up 106th and got to Daybreak she got a call and had to go into work, so we turned around and headed back.  We ended up going 3.5 miles but I didn't mind cutting the run short because I didn't sleep well last night.  Glen, Bridget and her kids are coming to visit this afternoon and I am excited to see them.
