Christine and I did our practice Triathlon.  We swam 300 meters in her pool, then biked 12 and ran 3.

I rode 10 miles with Shannon.  We went and a pretty good pace and it felt good.

I went to the Run GR8 run at Daybreak.  We ran around the lake.  I was going to go 6 but after 3 miles my hip was hurting.  It has been hurting off and on and I wasn't sure if it was the running, biking or swimming.  I'm pretty sure it is the running so I better take it a little easy so I can do the Triathamom on August 17th.

Shannon and I rode 10 miles.  I wanted to go more but she got tired because the wind was blowing.  Then I came home and took Duke for a short walk and then ran 3 miles with Leslie.

Met the group at O Roi park and we ran along the parkway trail.  They were doing two 3 mile tempo runs.  I only wanted to do 3 miles because I have a hip muscle that has been bothering me.  I was a long way behind and I saw a red fox cross the trail in front of me. I love seeing wildlife.  After the run I went home and did some cleaning and then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I rode bikes with Shannon and we did our usual 10 mile route.  I felt tired this morning so I was glad we were only doing 10.  Then I came home and did my arm weight exercises.  Then I cleaned the house and at lunch.  Then my son wanted me to ride bikes with him so we did the 3 mile course.

Christine and I did our Tri training this morning.  We did not swim because her pool cover was off the slider.  We ran first and did our 3.5 mile course and then we rode our bikes on our 12 mile course.  I was glad we ran first because it was a lot easier.  We got a good workout on the bikes because it was very windy.

I rode bikes with Shannon.  We did our 10 mile course.

I rode bikes with my husband and son and then I went to the Run GR8 run and ran 3 miles.  Then I went to Leslie's and helped with her sprinklers for two hours.

Shannon had a headache this morning so I rode bikes with my husband and we went 4 miles.

Met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west.  We did a warm up going east on the street and then when we got back to 40th west we went south. They were doing a loop past the Lake but I only wanted to go 3 so I ran south up the hill to the temple and then turned around and went back.  When I got home I took Duke on a small run.  He really loves to run but gets a sore leg if he goes too far.  Then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I rode 10 miles with Shannon.  The wind was really blowing so we got a good workout.

I met the group at Riverton High for the regular miles.  We ran through the subdivision out to 126th and then back to 3200 west and then north to 118th and then back to the street that ended on 2700 west and then back to Riverton.  I only ran 3 and then went home.  I am doing the Triathamom on Saturday and my hip has been bothering me so I did not want to over do it.  When I got home I did my arm weight exercises.

Shannon was too busy with work to ride bikes so I rode alone.  I did the usual 10 mile course but since I didn't ride to Shannon's it was only 9 miles instead of 10.  I rode as fast as I could because I did not have to wait for anyone.

My daughter Christine and I did the Triathamom today.  It was at the Kearns Rec center.  We did the swim in the pool and then biked and ran outside.  The swim got me a little more tired than I expected but I was still able to pass about 20 people on the bike.  The run was very tiring.  It started out on the grass up hill.  I had to walk for a while, but most of the people were walking.  Christine beat me by 7 minutes but I got to the finish before her because I started the swim before her.,  I won 1st in my age group but there were only 3 people in my age group.  Christine finished 97th out of 300 and I finished 146th out of 300.  I'm glad we did the Triathamom.

I had to be back to work for two days so I rode my bike to work and then back home after.  Then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the group at the church on 2200 and 98th.  I was a few minutes early for the regular miles and so was Julie so we both ran up 98th for a while and then back to the church.  When the rest of the group came we ran towards Bingham and then ran east on the Oak something drive to 27th west and then I ran north back to 98th and then back to the church.

I rode bike with Shannon.  We did our usual route except when we got to 144th Shannon headed home on Redwood and I kept going west to 3600.  Then I went north to 118th and then east to 2700 and then north to 106th and then east to redwood and then south to 114th and the east to my house.  It was a good ride.  I really love riding bikes more than running because I can go a lot farther and not feel tired at the end.

I met the group at Riverton High School for the regular miles.  We did a mile warm up through the subdivision and then ran on the track.  I did a mile on the track and then I took Rachel's dog and did the 2 mile loop through the neighborhood.  Michelle Margetts was there for the first time in a long time so I visited with her for a while after the run.  It was nice to talk to her again.  She has had several injuries and hasn't been able to run too much this summer.

I went to my Family Outing at the Heber Valley Girls Camp so the only exercise I got was walking back and forth between out cabins and the main pavilion and I also got some arm exercise rowing our canoe on the lake.  We really had a lot of fun.  After we got home and put everything away, Ben and I rode our bikes on our 4 miles route.  We rode fast and got a good workout.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on the 10 mile course.  I rode fast because I didn't have to wait for anyone.  It was a good ride.  Then I picked beans and made dinner.  After dinner I will bottle the beans.

Met the group at the church on 2200 and 98th.  I was late for the early miles so I just ran west on 98th and then back to the church.  For the regular miles we ran south on 2200 and then back to 98th and then we did a loop through the subdivision.  We saw a lot of Bingham Cross Country runners including Michelle  M's son.  The group turned south on 2700 and I turned north and ran to 98th and then back to my car.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I picked tomatoes.  Tomorrow I will make salsa after work.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my 10 mile course.  Since I was riding alone I rode fast and was able to do it in 35 minutes.  Then I came home, made dinner and made Salsa.  Then I went to my daughter Christine's and rode our 12 mile bike course with her.  She isn't as fast as I am so we did it in just under 1 hour.  I realized while I was biking that I'm beginning to love biking the way I use to love running.  I can bike twice a day and then I really do not feel very tired.  When I was younger it was that way with running.

Met the group at the South Jordan soccer fields.  I was late for the early miles but early for the late miles so I ran 1 miles before the rest of the group got there.  We were doing mile repeats up Rustic Road but we first ran up Canterwood to 2700 and then north to Rustic Road.  We ran down and then up and then I ran down again and then back to the soccer fields.

Leslie and I went to the Run GR8 run and I ran slow and steady for the 5 miles.  Afterwards we went to the shake place across the street for a free protein shake.  We both got strawberry banana and it was very good.
