After work and a short nap I took Duke on a 1 mile run.  Duke loved it.  It was hot.

I didn't do any exercise at all today.  I went to a research study from 7am until 4pm.  It was very interesting and we got breakfast, lunch and $200.

After work and a short nap I took Duke on a 1 mile run.  Then I did my arm weight exercises.

Met the group for the early miles at the South County Pool.  We ran from there past the park and out to redwood.  I turned around before redwood and headed back past the park and out to 126th.  Then I turned around and ran back to the park and then out to 126th and back again.  Then when the group came we ran south past the Pool road and then turned around and went back to the pool.  When the rest of the group came we ran past the park again and then around it and back to the pool.  Then we did runs from the pool to 13th west and back.  It was a quarter of a mile from the pool to 13th west and I ran back and forth 5 times and then I had to leave to go to work.  I was quite tired but not dead.

I took Duke for a 1 mile run. We both enjoyed it.

Met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west.  There were only 4 of us there for the first part.  We ran west to Yorkshire Dr. and ran north on Yorkshire to 98th.  The others were ahead of me and continued across 40th west but I turned south on 40th and headed back to the church.  When I got to the church I turned east and ran until I saw the others coming.  We then ran south past the church and ran through the back parking lot and back to meet the group.   We started out on a 15 minute warm up going west again to Yorkshire and then we turned around and went south back to the street that turns onto Yorkshire.  Then we did a 2 mile tempo run.  I started ahead of everyone up the hill.  At the top of the hill we turned north and followed the road back to Yorkshire.  The group then went north on Yorkshire, but I turned south and headed back to the car so I could get to work.   After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.  I could only do 50 pushups and then had to take a 30 second break and then do 25 more.  I don't know why my; arms are getting too weak to do 75 at once.  Maybe I need to do them more often.

I went to my triathlon class because I didn't feel like running in the snow.  I got a good workout.

We went to my daughter Jenny's house in Idaho for a baby blessing and baptism.  Their church didn't start until 2:45 so Ben, Spencer and I went on a 2 mile walk around the farm.  We didn't walk around the whole farm because they have 3000 acres, but we got a good walk in.

After work and a short nap I did my arm weights.

I met the group at the church on 114th and 3300 west.  We ran all around the subdivision and then came back for the others.  Then we did some 400's and 800's and then I had to leave to go to work.  Rachel was there and it was good to see her.  I got a good workout.

After work and a short nap I ran 1 mile with Duke and then I did my leg weight/ stomach exercises along with 80 mens pushups.  I did 60 pushups and then took a 30 second break and did 20 more.

Met the BBK's at the church off 124th and 13th west.  We did our warmup going north on 13th west past the church and then west through the subdivision and then south out to 126th and then back to where we parked.  I was a little bit behind the others and they ran 1 street past the turn off but I just turned and headed for the church where I met Michelle M coming out to 13th so she turned around and we ran past the church and around the parking lot and back and then out where we met the others.  For our second part we ran down tithing hill to the parkway trail and ran south for 2 miles and then turned around and headed back.  The others went north again but I had to get to work so I jogged back up Tithing Hill and came home.  I was tired, but I made it all the way up the hill without stopping.

After work and a short nap I weeded for an hour and then took Duke on a 2 mile brisk walk.  Duke doesn't walk slow but he did stop a few times to sniff weeds and mark his territory.We walked from my house to the canal road and then down the canal road for a mile and then back.  It was very beautiful weather and we saw a lot of Ducks.

Leslie and I met the group at Julie's house for the second part of the run.  Most of them had already run 10 miles.  We headed out through the subdivision and out to 118th.  The group continued on down to 2200 and north, but we decided to go west up 118th.  We continued west for 3 miles and then my son called to tell me about a storage auction that we wanted to go to so We turned around and headed back to Julie's house.  I ran a lot faster on the way back than on the way up because it was downhill.  It was a good run.

I met the group at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple parking lot for the early miles.  There were 4 of us for the early miles.  We jogged past the temple heading north to 106th and then I was so far behind I didn't know where they went so I turned around and headed back.  I jogged past the temple and then up the next street and then back past the temple going north again and then turned around and went back south past the temple and up the street and then when I got back to the temple the others were there.  We started off again the same direction going north but turned west and then south and then west again and ended up at Daybreak lake.  They started around the lake but I had to get back to go to work.  I didn't have my watch with me so I wasn't sure of the time so I got back a little early and only made it 4.5 miles.  I don't have to work Thursday so I will be able to go at least 6 then.

I met the group at Bingham but I didn't go to the early miles because I don't have to work for a few days.  We did our usual loop starting at the back parking lot and then around temple view, Bonanza and then the subdivision across the street and then we did the same loop backwards.  Then for our cool down we ran north on 2200 and then around the subdivision again and back to Bingham.  It was a good run and I was tired after.  I hope the weather will be nice for a few days so I can do some yard work.

I went to Leslie's to run this morning.  She had to be to a motorcycle safety class at 8 a.m. so I went over at 6:15 and we ran 4 miles.  She marked out a new route that went from her house north on 40th west to the church on 102nd and then west all the way up the big hill to the end and then south through daybreak and then back out to 106th and back down to Leslie's.  It was a nice little run and the weather was just perfect.  When I got home I wanted to run more so I took Duke on a 2.5 miles run from my house down redwood to Walgreens and back.  He enjoyed it and so did I.

This morning since I didn't have to work I took Duke on the 3 mile run and then did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I also did 50 mens pushups, took a 30 second break and did 25 more.  I don't know why I can't do 75 straight anymore.  The run with Duke was nice and cool with a slight rainy drizzle.  We both had a good time.Then I did a lot of cleaning, had lunch and took a nap.  Then my daughter Rebecca came over and wanted me to run with her so I ran 1.5 miles with her on the parkway.  Then I went visiting teaching.  Tonight for family night we are going to see the movie "Soul Surfer."  One of my daughters and her family saw it last week and thought it was very good.

I met the group at the SJ soccer fields for the early miles.  I started off early and went to the left on our usual 5K course.  I made it to the end before anyone caught up to me.  For the next part we did a 2 mile course through canterwood and then up to 2700 and down Rustic Road.  Then I had to leave so I could get home in time to make breakfast for my husband for his birthday.  After dinner tonight we had a sod laying party for my husbands birthday.  Then we had strawberry cream cheese pie for dessert.  It was good.

I ran my usual 3 mile course with Duke early this morning before work.  Then after work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

Met the group for the early miles at Riverton High School.  We ran north on 2700 down to 118th and then up to 3200 west and over and back.  Eric went slow with me and I had a nice visit.  Then we met the others and ran another short course through the subdivision and then out to 126th and back to Riverton.  Then we did a 1 mile out and back course and then another 1/2 mile cool down and then another 1 mile out and back course.  It was a good run.
