I went to Leslie's this morning and we ran our usual route around daybreak lake.  I came home and did some indexing and cleaning.  After a short nap I picked peas and shelled them for about 4 hours.

Met the BBK's at Parkwaay Palisades.  I was a couple of minutes late so they had already left.  I could see them up ahead heading for the cemetery.  When I caught up they were just discussing what we were going to do.  Some went on a tempo run and the rest did speed work around the cemetery.  I stayed for the speed work but just did my own thing.  I just ran around the cemetery and back down the hill and up again and then turned around and did it again two more times.  Then we ran back to the park and they continued on but I was so tired I just left.  Running sure does get me tired.

I still can't figure out how to put in biking and swim miles so I am just putting them all in running.  Met the Bunners at the Rec Center.  Michelle, Dean, Kris and Allen came.  My new name for Michelle is Lance.  She is trying to become the new Lance Armstrong.  I tried to keep up but couldn't.  I kept up with Kris most of the time.  I really got a good workout.  This afternoon I will do my arm weight exercises and then Leslie and I will swim at the Blackridge Reservoir.

Leslie and I only jogged 1 mile and walked 1/2 mile.  We ran from her house to the light on 106th and then her leg was hurting too bad so we turned around and walked back home.  I was fine with not going far because I had allergies bad last night and didn't get much sleep.  Then I came home and cleaned, took a short nap and met my daughter, her husband and two kids at the zoo.  It was Sicily's (my granddaughter) Birthday and we celebrated it at the zoo.  It was a lot of fun, but tons of walking and boy was it hot.  It's a good thing we walked a lot because tonight we went to the Pizza Pie Cafe that my husband wired for a free buffet.  It was very good but of course I ate too much.  They had a salad bar, pasta bar, pizza and dessert pizza so of course I had to try everything.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.

Leslie and I helped register the people for the Riverton 10K.  It was slow at first but got very busy towards the end.  We barely had time to use the restroom and get in line for the race.  I took it nice and easy and I actually felt pretty good the whole race.  I finished in 1hr and 5 minutes and was first in my age.  I was the only one in my age group.  There were 3 people in the age group younger than me but I don't know what there times were.  Leslie finished in 55 minutes.  After the race I came home and cleaned.  Then Bridget, Glenn and their kids got here, followed by Jenny and her 5 kids.  Leslie took most of the kids to the park while I took Jenny to lunch for her Birthday.  Then we came back and watched Bridget's kids so they could go see Twilight.  Then we went to Leslie's for a BBQ.  Now I need to get my house cleaned again because Bridget is having her baby blessed in our ward and everyone is coming over here after to eat.
