I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.  I really don't enjoy either so it's a good thing we have TV in the exercise room.  After I cleaned the kitchen I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I cleaned up, did more housework and then took my daughter to Olive Garden for her Birthday.  It was very good!!!

Met the group at Bingham High for the regular miles.  We ran across 106th south through the subdivision and out to redwood road and then south to the park.  Then we ran through the park and west to 2200 west and then north to Rustic Roads.  Then we ran up Rustic Roads to 2700 w and then south to 9800 and then west to 2200 and then south back to Bingham.  I took one shortcut to catch back up with the group.  Eric was going slower than the others so when he caught up with me he went slow with me the rest of the way.  It was nice to have someone to talk to.  Thanks Eric.

I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.  Then I cleaned the kitchen afterwhich I did my leg weight/stomach exercises and 60 mens pushups.  Then I did the last of my visiting teaching(to a woman that works alot before Christmas) and then my daughter and I headed up to Ogden to visit with my youngest daughter, her husband and two kids.  We had a fun time and the weather wasn't too bad for the drive.

I got up to meet the running group for the regular miles. I woke up at 4:30 and didn't need to be there until 5:45 so I did my indexing while I was waiting.  When I looked outside before I did my indexing it was snowy and cold but was not snowing.  When I was just about ready to leave my husband said are you going to run in this blizzard?  I looked outside and it was snowing like crazy.  I decided to do 10 more minutes of indexing before using the elliptical.  Ten minutes later I looked out the window and the snow had stopped falling.  Even though I knew I would be late I decided I would rather run outside.  I drove down to the park by daybreak where we were meeting and didn't see anyone.  Then I saw Cheris just getting out of her car.  We were the only ones there.  We started running and then saw Michelle coming.  We ran around up and down through the daybreak neighborhood and then down back past our cars and then out to 114th and up the hill.  Cheris and Michelle were a little way ahead of me and I thought they were going to come back down the hill so when I saw them turn around I headed back down.  After I got to the bottom they were headed back up so I went back up and then back down again and back up once more.  When I didn't see them I headed back down and back to the park.  When I got almost to the cars I saw them come running.  They were going to run another mile so I just jogged to the end of the street again and back to my; car.  It was cold but we didn't get snowed on.  It was way better than the elliptical and I got a very good workout.

I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.  Then I did my stomach exercises.  My back has been hurting when I run lately and Eric and Michelle said I needed to do more stomach exercises.

The temperature was about 8 degrees this morning and my son and husband thought I would get frost bite if I ran but I knew I would be fine if I dressed warm.  I drove to the Park in Riverton and saw Alan and Eric just taking off.  They came back for me and we headed on the Riverton 10K course.  Eric didn't have anything covering his face so we turned around and ran back to his car to get a shirt.  When we got back to his car Michelle and Cheris ran up.  They had come early to get in some extra miles.  They thought the 10k course would be too snowy so we ran down the road west past the Post Office and out to 126th.  Then down past 2700 and then we turned around and headed back.  Cheris and Michelle had to be somewhere so they stopped and I stopped with them and Eric and Alan continued on.  By the end I was very hot because I put on layers.  The only thing that got cold on me were my hands and they warmed up after about a mile.  It was a good run.
