I did my arm weight exercises. After dinner I swam at Marv Jenson's.  I swam for an hour and did front crawl the whole time.  I stopped a few times to talk to the other people that were swimming.

Met the BBK's at the Country Crossing Park for the early miles.  There was a new girl named Marty and she was going slow so I ran with her.  I wasn't even dead after the 3 miles.  The second part of our run we ran up to Daybreak Lake.  After we got to the Lake I had to turn around and run back so I could make it to work by 7.  It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting with Marty and others.  After work and a nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.

After work and a nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.  Then I went to scouts.  (I am now the 11yr old scout leader)  After scouts and dinner I was going to swim but Leslie was still sick and I go lazy.

Met the BBK's at the park down from Tithing Hill.  There were 11 of us for the early miles.  We jogged through the park, past the other parking lot and into the subdivision.  We ran up and down the roller coaster hill and turned left into a street that turned out to be a dead end so we went north to the next street and turned left and at the end was the parkway trail.  We ran along the trail and were headed back to the place where we parked but we ran into some construction and had to walk for a minute.  Then we started off again and a little way farther the trail was under water so we had to turn around and head back and go out onto the street again to get back to the park.  Needless to say I was late for work since I had to be there at 6am, but I was only 15 minutes late.  I had a good time visiting with Michelle Putnum who was able to come since she lives close to where we jogged.  I also got to visit with Kelli and a few others.  I really enjoyed the run even if I was late to work.  After work and a nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  I'll be glad when I can ride outside again.

I went to my Triathlon class this morning without Leslie because she was sick still.  We swam 40 minutes and then got out to spin.  I had my key for my lock pinned on my swim suit but when I got out of the pool I couldn't find the key.  I looked all over but still couldn't find it so I had them cut my lock off.  The girl took my purse to the front desk while I went to the spin class.  After spin class instead of running on the treadmill I went home and took Duke on a 3 mile run.  It is so much nicer to run outside.  I got a very good workout.

I did my arm weight exercises after work.  After dinner Leslie and I went to Marv's to swim.  I stopped at Smith's on my way and bought a new lock.  This time I got a combo lock.  I swam 30 laps front crawl with a few short breaks.  Leslie swam 40 laps with almost no breaks.

Met the BBK's at Peggy's for the early miles.  Marty was there so I went slow with her the first 3 miles.  The second 2 miles I was at the front most of the way with Peggy and Mike.  When we got to the hill a slowed way down.  When we got to the top of the hill they all regrouped to do 400's and I headed back to my car so I could get to work.  I really enjoyed the run.  It's so much fun to have lots of people to run with.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.  Instead of swimming, Ben, Becca and I went to Leslie's with Angie and Chrissy and made sugar cookies for Valentines Day.

Met the BBK's at the church by tithing hill.  There was quiet a group.  We started off and then circled the church to wait for the slow people.  We decided to run through the neighborhoods because Lisa said the trail was still very torn up.  We headed down the big hill and I notice that Marty was there.  We were close to the front after the big hill but we both slowed down and everyone went ahead.  I was faster than Marty so I kept turning around and going back for her because I didn't want her to have to run alone.  When the group got to Lampton they turned and so did we so we were in the lead for a few minutes.  Eric caught up with us so we ran with him for a few minutes.  It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting.  I had to leave quick to be to work at 6.  After work and a nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  Leslie was too tired to swim after work and I was too lazy.

Leslie and I met the running group at the park in Riverton.  There were lots of people there.  Some we haven't seen for a long time like John the Iron man and his friend and Jameson and Kurt.  There was also a new guy that Kelli brought name Jose.  The group was doing the full 13 but Leslie and I didn't want to go that far because she has had bronchitis and I still get tired.  We ran out to 13th west and the group stopped to head north.  Leslie, Duke and I headed to the South County Pool and headed down to the Parkway trail from there.  There were a few spots on the trail that were under construction and we had to walk over hoses and around holes but for the most part it was pretty good.  We let Duke off his leash and he loved it.  When we got to the water tower there were lots of runners coming from the other direction so Leslie put Duke back on his leash and held him.  We went slow and steady and I didn't get too tired.  Leslie was just a little way ahead but after the cemetary road I caught up to her along redwood and we stayed together until we got back to the cars.  None of the group caught up with us.  It was a good run.  Next time we do a long run we will do the whole 13 mile course.

Since I was off work today I went swimming this morning.  I swam 40 laps front crawl with a 30 second break after 30 laps.  I think I am starting to get better at swimming because I'm not as tired now after 40 laps as I used to be after 10.  Leslie had an eye infection so she didn't swim.  After I swam, cleaned up and cleaned the house, Leslie, Becca and I drove to Ogden to take Bridget and Sicily to lunch.  I don't know if I was more excited to see Bridget or Sicily.  I haven't seen them since Christmas.  We had a fun time.

Met the group at the Park in Riverton for the early miles.  We ran from the park through the subdivision and out to 3600 West and then south.  Marty and I were at the back so when the group turned around we were at the front.  It was a good run.  For the second part we divided into two groups.  One group did speed work and our group did a longer run.  We did the same course as the early miles but instead of turning around we kept going down to 134th and then turned east.  On the street before 2700 we turned north at ran through the subdivision to the park.  The group was going to do another 2 mile run but I had to leave.  After work and a nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  Tonight I have my scripture study group and then I'll watch American Idol.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.  Leslie and I were too tired and lazy to swim.  It's a lot easier to swim when I can do it earlier in the day.

Met the group at Julie's house for the early miles.  We did a 3 mile loop through the neighborhood, out to 118th back through a neighborhood, out to 126th east for a ways and then back through a neighborhood to Julie's.  Then for the main workout we did a 1.5 mile warmup and then we started at Julie's to do a 3 mile run.  I only wanted  to go 2 miles because I had to be to work at 7 so they told me where the mile mark was.  When I got to the mile which was 118th I started back towards Julie's.  Somewhere in the subdivison on the way back I got lost and couldn't find Julies house so I ran out to redwood road and south to 124th and turned towards Cheris's house and then found Julie's.  I added and extra 1/2 mile to my run.  Duke and I got a good workout.  After work and a nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I went to my Triathlon class without Leslie because she was going to a women's conference.  There were lots of people at the class.  I am finally faster than a few people.  We swam for 40 minutes than did spin for 40 minutes and then I came home and took Duke for a 3 mile run.  I was tired after but not dead.

I took the day off of work today so I could go up to Ogden and tend Sicily.  She has been sick and Glenn couldn't take another day off.  I went to Marv's to swim this morning before I went to Ogden.  I swam 40 laps front crawl with a couple of small breaks while I talked to other swimmers.  I had a fun time tending Sicily.  She is so cute and fun to play with.  After dinner I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.

Met the group for the early miles.  We jogged down 2200 to 98th and then turned west towards 2700.  We turned back south into the subdivision just before 2700 and then jogged over to Bridal Oaks where we headed east back to 2200.  Then back to the school.  When we were almost to the school Leslie came running towards me.  I guess she, Michelle and Cheris were a couple of minutes late so they jogged a different course.  For the second part of our run we ran over to Prospector and did an 800 loop twice and then Leslie and I had to leave.  It was a good run and I wasn't too dead.

After work I took a short nap and then did my arm weight exercises.  Then I went to Scouts.  I'm not swimming tonight because I a meeting for our upcoming women's conference.

Met the BBK's at Parkway Palisades for the early miles.  Chris and I both got there early so we ran about .2 of a mile while waiting for the others to get there.  When the others got there we jogged down past parkway palisades to the road before 114th and then headed up through the subdivision and then through it and back around and then back down towards the park.  We went past the park almost out to 106th and then back to the park.  Duke and I were able to stay at the front the whole time.  I had to be to work at 6am so I had to hurry and leave.  It was a good run.

I was planning on swimming this morning but was sick in the night so instead I am taking it easy until I leave to go to Tooele.  I'm going out to help my oldest daughter for the weekend.  She is having a big 16th Birthday party for her daughter and her husband had to go back to Argentina because his father is very sick and having surgery.  Carrie has 9 kids, goes to school and works 30-40hrs a week as a home health nurse so she is very busy.  I'm glad I can go and help her.  We went to Denny's for dinner and I ate plenty so I hope I feel good enough to exercise tomorrow.

I'm staying with my daughter and her family in Tooele for a few days.  This morning I went to Yoga with two of my daughters and two granddaughters.  I've only done Yoga one other time in my life.  Wow it was such a workout.  It's a good thing I was able to at least do Yoga because I pigged out the rest of the Day.  It was my granddaughters 16th birthday party and we had Pizza, cake, icecream and candy.  I ate plenty.  I'm feeling a lot better but I still have quite a cough.
