I did my arm weight exercises after work and a short nap.  Leslie and I were going to swim but we decided to swim tomorrow instead so I cleaned my house since I didn't have time on Saturday to do any cleaning.

Met the BBK's at SJ soccer fields for the early miles.  We did the 5K course backwards.  I only saw the group for a few moments and then I was by myself.  Now that I can't run with Duke anymore I have to learn to run all over.  I am very slow, but I decided that it doesn't matter how slow I am I am just glad that I can run.  When I finished the 5K the first time the group was already starting on their next run.  I decided not to worry about the group and just do the 5K course the other direction.  I was slow and steady but I made it the whole way and got 6 miles in.  I was very glad that I could go 6 miles.  After work I took a short nap and then tended Sicily while Bridget had a job interview.  She just graduated and is interviewing for an elementary teacher position.  I had a fun time playing with Sicily.  After dinner I met Leslie and Marv Jenson's and we swam 20 laps.

I started doing my leg weight/stomach exercises but by the third round my leg muscle on the inside of my thigh hurt too much to bend down so I stopped.  I finished the stomach exercises and called it good.  I don't know what I did to the muscle but it only hurts when I bent a certain way.

Met the BBK's at parkway palisades for the early miles.  We ran up past the cemetery and out to 13th west.  I was a way behind and I don't know if they turned before parkway palisades but I went down parkway palisades.  By the time I got back they were ready to go again.  I was already very tired.  I took off my warm stuff and headed out.  I told them I was going to do my own thing.  I just jogged up to where they usually start and went back and forth down the the straight road until I had gone 30 minutes and then headed home.  Running is very hard and really gets me tired but I will keep on running as long as my body will let me.  After work Leslie and I will ride bikes.

Leslie and I were going to run 10 miles today but because of a mix up we only went 6.  I thought she was coming to my house and she thought I was coming to her house.  She called at 7:15 wondering where I was.  By then it was getting late and we both had flowers to plant so I drove to Leslie's and we ran from her house up to daybreak and around the lake and then back.  She went slow for me so I wasn't dead at the end.  Then I spent the next 3 hours planting flowers that we grew in our greenhouse.  Then Christine took me to El Farol for lunch for my mother's day present.  It was sure good.  After a short nap I went to the temple.
