Leslie and I swam at Marv's this afternoon.  I did 20 laps front crawl, took a 1 minute break and did 10 more laps front crawl.  I'm not as tired as I used to be when I swam so I must be getting a little better.  I was on lap 4 when Leslie started and she still finished ahead of me.

Leslie, Chrissy and I jogged three miles in the snow this morning.  When we were ready to leave it was a blizzard but half way through the snow stopped.  We went down redwood to 104th and back.  Leslie held Duke and I went slow with Chrissy.  I went even slower than usual because I didn't want to fall down.  After breakfast I used the stationary bike for 30 minutes.

After work I did my leg weight exercises along with stomach and 70 mens pushups.  After dinner Leslie and I went to Marv's to swim.  I did 30 laps with only a few short breaks. 

I ran with Duke this morning.  I had to be to work at 6 so I didn't have time to run with the BBK's.  We ran down Redwood Road to 104th and then back.  The sidewalks were clear and I had Duke so I was able to go a lot faster than Saturday.  Saturday it took me 34 minutes and today it only took 25.

Didn't have a moment to even think about exercising.

Met the BBK's at the church on 102nd and 3200.  Mike and I got there early so we ran a 1/2 mile while we were waiting for the others.  We ran around through some neighborhoods.  I ran slow ith Michelle and Alan.  Luckily they knew where they were because I couldn't tell which direction was which.  On the second part of our run we ran down 3200 north.  When got to 9800 a car came fast around the corner and 5 or 6 people had to jump out of the way.  That was way too close for comfort but I'm glad no one was hit.  Mike told me when we were a little past a mile so I could turn around and head back.  Alan and Lynette turned around and ran back with me.  This afternoon I did my arm weight  exercises.

After work I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  Even watching TV while riding I could hardly stand to ride for that long.

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon class.  We swam 40 minutes, bikes 40 minutes and ran 30 minutes.  It was a good workout.

I did my leg weight and stomach exercises along with my 70 mens pushups.

Met at Mike and Peggy's house for the early miles.  Mike led the group.  We ran out to 98th down to 13th west and past the temple to Y Worry Lane and then up past the retirement center out to redwood road.  Then we ran north to the next street and turned east and ran back down to 13th west.  We ran on 13th west north past 98th and turned left at the next subdivision and ran west and then turned south back to Mikes house.  I only kept up for the first 1/2 mile and then was tired.  I was about 500 feet back the rest of the run.  I had to be to work at 6am so I left after the first part.  After work I used the stationary bike for 20 minutes.  Boy I hate riding the stationary bike.

I did my arm weight exercises after work.  I'm going to running group in the morning and planning to run 6 so I added it on today because we are leaving after work to  head for Arizona for my husband's sister's funeral.  We won't be back until Sunday night and Monday morning at 7am our plane leaves for Hawaii so I won't be near a computer for about 1 1/2 weeks.

We were in Kauii Hawaii and we woke up about 4 am, ate breakfast and then waited for it to get light enough to jog.  We jogged along the beach until we reached the trail that went along the beach.  It was beautiful and warm.  We stopped several times to take pictures.  We jogged 35 minutes out and 25 back.

We woke up early like usual ate breakfast and watched TV until it was light enough to jog.  Today we drove to the trailhead along the beach and ran along the trail for 30 minutes and then back for 30.  It was very beautiful and there were many people, walking, running and biking.  We took pictures along the way again.

I did my arm weight exercises.

Met the BBK's at the South Jordan Libray for the early miles.  I kept up for the first part of the run but got behind half way through.  Duke helped pull me along but I still got tired.  The second 3 miles I was even more tired and slow.  I talked to Eric for a while but then I was too tired to keep up with him.  I really don't know why running gets me so tired even when I go slow.  When the group turned to go towards Dean's house I kept going straight along 13th west and then back to my car.  I was so tired I barely made it back.

I did my leg weight exercise/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.

Met the BBK's at Bingham for the regular miles.  I didn't have to work until 7:30 so I didn't go to the early miles because I knew I wouldn't make it the whole time.  We ran all over creation--through the subdivision across from Bingham, down to Redwood, then back through the subdivision and out to 2200 then past the equestrian park and to our 5K course.  When we got to the place where we usually turn down we kept going straight on 2700 and did the horseshoe circle and back to bridle oaks and down to 2200 and then back to Bingham.  The group kept regrouping which was very good for me because I was so slow and tired even with Duke pulling me that I wouldn't have even seen them.  I was very glad to make it to the end.

Met the group at a park in Bluffdale.  Leslie was sick so I brought Duke.  We ran around the park once and then back to the parking lot to pick up the strays.  Then we went east to2200 then turned south and then after that I'm not sure where we went but we kept running for quite a while.  Duke and I started out in front but I started getting tired very early and slowed down.  Allen was going slow so we ran the rest of the run with him.  The rest of the group was a ways ahead but we could still see them.  It was nice to be able to go slow and still have someone to visit with.  When we got back to the park Allen's garmin said 7 miles and the group was starting out on the next part of the run.  Allen was tired and was going to stop, and I was tired but wanted to go 1 more mile so I ran a time or two around the park to make it 8 miles.
