Duke and I ran this morning before work.  It was perfect running weather.  We did our usual  3 mile course.

Our running group was meeting at 9:30 at the park across from the fitness center.  Leslie, Duke and I went at 9 and ran from my house down to the river bottoms and up and around the subdivision a few times and then met the others at 9:30.  Only Michelle, Aaron and one other person whose name I can't remember were there.  We ran along the River Bottoms road until we got to Parkway Palisades and Leslie, Duke and I ran up the big hill while the others  went to the trail.  When Leslie, Duke and I started our run we went on the trail for a few minutes and there were a lot of slippery spots so we didn't want to run on the trail.  After the big hill we ran down to the River bottoms again and out to 114th and back home.  We were all very tired.  This route has many hills.

When I got home from work today my daughter and her kids were here from Idaho.  I went to the dentist with them and them made them dinner.  After I cleaned the kitchen and my daughter and her kids left to go back home I used the spin bike for 30 minutes.

I ran 3 miles with Duke before work.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I used the spin bike for 30 minutes.

I went early to running group.  Duke and I did the 2 mile loop through the neighborhood and then went back to Riverton High to meet the others.  The only one that came was Rachel who ran over from her house.  We did the 2 mile loop again and then I had to head home to get ready for work.  Rachel went slow with me the whole time and I had a good visit.

I didn't exercise at all today because I had a cold and was too tired after work.  I did make it to the temple to go through with my niece who is going on a mission to Baton Rouge Louisiana.  Her brother is going on a mission to Tonga.

My cold got the best of me but I did do some house cleaning.

Leslie had the day off so she came over and she, Duke and I did our usual 3 mile course.  Leslie was very sore and bruised from going snow boarding so she turned around at the light at the Town Center.  It was a good run.  Now I am cleaning my house and them my husband is taking me to lunch.,

I finally felt good enough to exercise.  I used the spin bike for 30 minutes before work.

I met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  I started off on my usual route through the subdivision with Duke.  Mike caught up with me about 5 minutes later.  He came for the early miles but was a little bit late.  I really enjoyed talking to him and catching up on his family.  When we got back to the High school none of the others were there yet so we ran past and turned in the subdivision again and the ran part way up the street and turned around and went back.  When we got back, Rachel and Carissa were there to we did the loop through the subdivision again.  Then I had to leave to get home for work.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with my pushups.  I hope everyone is having a nice Valentines Day.  I have the best husband in the world.  He is been leaving Valentines surprises on my pillow every day this week.

I used the elliptical for 30 minutes before work.

I met the group at the park at the bottom of tithing hill.  There were about 7 other people and it was fun to see them.  We started north on the parkway trail for our warmup and then turned around after about a half a mile and went back to the park to pick up anyone that was late.  Then we headed south on the trail.  Duke and I got behind early because I am slow and he has to pee on every bush.  We went slow and stead;y and I even made it all the way up the big hill.  Some on the others were already heading back the other way but I kept going until I was almost to bangerter and then turned around and headed back.  We kept a slow and steady pace and when we got back Michelle M was still there so I visited with her fro a couple of minutes.  It was a good run.  Leslie didn't come because she went snowboarding with her boyfriend.

After work and a short nap I used the spin bike for 30 minutes and then did my arm weight exrecises.

I used the spin bike for 30 minutes.

After work I ran 3 miles with Duke.

Leslie, Duke and I ran around the block going east to 13th west and then north to 106th, then west to redwood and south to 114.  It was a good run and we made it before it snowed.

I used the spin bike for 30 minutes and then did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I went early and ran for 15 minutes and then Mike and Peggy came.  I talked to them for a minute and then we headed out.  They went one direction and I went another.  I ran for another 20 minutes and then had to head to work.  After work I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

Today I was able to ride my bike outside. I rode my usual 6 miles course.  It seemed harder than it did last fall but maybe it was because the wind was blowing hard.  I really enjoyed riding outside much more the using the spin bike.

I had to be to work at 6am so I didn't have time to meet the group.  Since Duke has a sore leg I ran by myself at 5am.  I ran east on 114th and then south on 13th west to the church and then turned around and came back.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.
