I rode my bike on my usual 6 mile course.  It is so nice to ride outside.

I will not be able to go to run group for a month because I have to be to work at 6am.  I ran with Duke and we did our course down to redwood and then south almost to 126th and back.  My daughter Leslie had her triplets today and they are all doing well.  They will have to stay in the hospital 2-6 weeks.   After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  After dinner we went to the hospital to see Leslie and the triplets.  They are so cute and small.  She had 2 girls and a boy.

Duke and I did our usual 3 mile course.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

Since I haven't been able to meet with the group during the week I decided to meet them today even though they were going 12 and I only wanted to go 4 with them.  We met at the district.  I told them about Leslie's triplets and showed them pictures on my phone.  We ran through the district out to 118th and then up to Country Crossing.  By then they were all out of sight so I just ran to 114th and then up to daybreak.  Then I turned around and headed back.  When I got home I picked up Duke and then ran another 2.5 miles.  It was a good run.

I did my leg weight exercises.

I ran 3 miles with Duke before work.  After work and a short nap I rode the spin bike for 30 minutes.

I met the group at the park by Lifetime Fitness.  We ran south on the Parkway trail.  I started off before the group because Duke and I were only going 3 miles.  I love running with Duke but he sure likes to stop, sniff an pee alot.  We ran south for 22 minutes and then turned around and headed back.  After I got home I filled my water bottle again and headed over to my daughter Christine's house to run with her. Duke can only go 3 miles or he gets a sore let.  I had a nice visit while we ran.  I made it 3.5 with Duke and 3.5 with Christine.  That is the most I have gone in over a year. 

I went to the temple this morning and then I came home and cleaned the house.  Then I rode my bike to Christine's house and then we rode bikes and then I rode back home.  It is sure nice to have a day off of work.  I really enjoyed the bike ride.  I had to go a little bit slower for my daughter than I do when I ride alone, but it was sure nice to have someone to ride with.

I ran 2 miles with Duke and then went to Christine's and ran 3.5 with her.  I was very slow today because I have slept over at my daughter Leslie's the past two nights to help with the triplets.  I forgot how tired getting up 3 times a night can make you.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my 6 mile ride.  It was a little chilly today but I still enjoyed the ride.

I did not have to work today because I spent the night at Leslie's helping with triplets.  I went to the 8:30 run group with Duke and ran 3.42 miles.  I would have run more but I had to be back to Leslie's at 9:30 to feed babies.  It was a fun run and it was good to see people from our group.

I met the group at Riverton Park.  They were doing the Riverton Half Marathon Course.  I started out with them running north on 13th west.  I turned at tithing hill and was going to meet them on the trail.  They kept going on 13th west to lampton.  I ran past the condos on tithing hill and then down the hill to the parkway trail.  Then I ran along the trail.  I thought I would see the group but I could not remember where they came down to the trail.  I ran past a couple of places where it went up into the subdivision but I was not sure which one they would be coming down so I kept going until the end of the trail and then I turned around and headed back.  By then I realized I had missed them.  I ran back the same way I came and got back to the car.  It took me an hour and my phone said I had only gone 3.5 miles.  When I got home I took duke on a 2 mile run.  He was very excited and pulled very fast the first mile.
