I didn't walk with Ben this morning because he didn't have time.  I ate breakfast and cleaned and then I called Leslie and woke her up.  We ran down 40th west to Sky Drive and back.  It was a good run and it was a little cooler and I liked that.

I walked at 4:45 with Ben and then when we got back I met the BBK's at Riverton High.  I didn't get there for the early miles but I was few minutes early and so was Carissa so we ran down 27th almost to the light and turned around and headed back where we met the others turning into the parking lot.  We ran around the parking lot and then picked up the others.  They were doing a 1 mile warmup before going to the track.  Debbie didn't want to run on the track and neither did I so we just continued on north and ran to 112th South and then turned around.  When we were almost back Kris Bullock caught up with us.  Then we ran through the neighborhood across from the school and then back to the school.  It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting with Debbie and Kris.

This afternoon I did my arm weight exercises.  It's the first time I have been able to do them since I had my hand surgery.  It didn't hurt much and I was glad to get the exercise.

Ben, Duke and I did our usual walk down to the light at the river bottoms and back.  It is usually a pretty brisk walk with Duke pulling Ben along.  Then I got home and my husband had made me breakfast for my Birthday.  After breakfast I read scriptures, did my indexing and then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 50 mens pushups followed by a 1 minute break and then 20 more.  Boy laying off the pushups for two weeks because of my hand made the pushups harder than ever.

Ben, Duke and I did our walk at 4:30 this morning.  Duke spotted a couple of cats along the way and boy did we go fast for awhile, Ben could hardly hold him back.  I got back in time to go to the early miles with the BBk's.  They started out right when I got there so I was behind from the start.  They headed north through the subdivision and after a while I lost them, but I kept going and then made my way back to the church.  Eric was coming north along the  road by the church so I turned around and ran with him until we met up with the others and then went back to the church.  For our regular miles we ran down 3200 from 114th to 106th and then west to the credit union and then south to 114th and then back.  I visited with Eric, Kris, Debbie and Kellie for a few minutes and then they went ahead.  I kept going until about 5 people passed me heading back so then I turned around and started back.  I made it back before Kris, Debbie and Eric because they went the full 6 miles and I think I only went 5.  It was a good run and I was tired at the end.  I visited with Rachel for a few minutes before I left.   Then I went home, ate the 3 pieces of my Birthday cake that were left and then called Leslie.  Jenny was staying with her so I went over to tend Jenny's kids so she could run with Leslie.  Then I came home, cleaned up and cleaned the house.  Then Jenny and I went to Costco and then I took her to lunch for her birthday that was in June.  She lives in Idaho so this was the first chance I had to take her.  We went to Olive Garden and it was delicious.

This morning when Duke, Ben and I were walking I saw a skunk in the field about 10 feet away.  That was the fastest I have ever seen Ben run.  Luckily Duke didn't see the skunk.  On the way back we walked on the other side of the street.  After breakfast and some cleaning I called and woke Leslie up and then we did our usual daybreak bike ride.

This morning Ben, Duke and I didn't walk until 5am.  Ben's leg was sore so we only went 1 mile.  Then I came home, made breakfast and cleaned the kitchen.  I called Leslie at 6:30 and headed over to run with her.  We ran to Chrissy's and back.  When we got to Chrissy's we used the bathroom and refilled our water bottles and headed back.  On the way back I saw one of my co-workers running towards us so I stopped and talked to her for about 5 minutes and then we continued on.  On the way back I was getting quite hot and was glad I had cold water to drink.  I had a nice visit with Leslie as we ran.
