Went to Leslie's to run.  Her thigh was still feeling stiff so we only went 3 miles.  We ran down past her church to the canal road.  Then we ran along the road to 106th and back.  Then I came home showered and went to my Dr. appt.  Then I cam home and rode bikes with my son.  We only rode for 10 minutes because he is very out of shape.  We will increase each day.  Then Kent, Ben and I went to lunch.

I didn't see the running email so I ran by myself down redwood to 106th and back.  Then I did my arm weight exercises, cleaned the house and went with Christine and her kids to the living planet aquarium.  It was fun.

I met the bunners at the rec center.  Alan, Dean, Curt and Michelle all came.  We rode south on redwood to 126th and then up 126th to 60th west.  Either I was very slow or everyone else was very fast because once we started up 126th everyone got way ahead of me.  I almost caught up with Alan at the light on Bangerter, but he made it through the light and I didn't.  When I got to 60th West I rode to 118th and then east to redwood and home.  Later in the day I checked my tires and they were low so I filled them.  I took a short ride with my son and it was a lot easier with full tires.  After dinner Leslie and I swam at Blackridge reservoir. We swam around the outside  of the reservoir so if we needed to stop we could touch bottom.  I stopped twice for about 10 seconds each time.  We made it back around and I wasn't too dead.

I went to Leslie's to run.  We did and easy 3 miles again to make sure Leslie's leg would be fine for the South Jordan Half.  Her leg felt fine so after we cleaned up we went and signed up for the South Jordan Half.  We might swim after she gets off work.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with mens pushups.  For some reason today I was only able to do 60.  I don't know why my arms would be so tired.  Now I am going to breakfast/lunch with my sisters.  It will be lunch for me because I ate breakfast at 5:30.

Leslie and I did the South Jordan Half Marathon.  It was the hardest half I have done so far.  It started out at the District, went out to 118th and then north on 40th west to Sky Drive.  Then it went west to 4800 west.  Then we went up and down a trail through the Gully and then wove through a subdivision to 102nd and then up to Daybreak Lake and from their over to 114th and up past Daybreak to 118th.  Then we went down a few streets and then north to Daybreak.  Then we turned on Kesler Drive and it wound into 114th South and then south on 40th back to 118th and then back to the District.  I visited with a lot of people along the way.  I walked for a minute at two water stops and I walked up the last hill to daybreak.  It took me 2 hours and 29 minutes which was my slowest 1/2 yet but I didn't care I was glad to make it to the end. I still got 1st place in my age group.  Dean and Kris Bullock and Debbi Kroll ran the race also and so did Tom Boud.
