Duke and I ran 4 miles this morning and then I had a garage sale.  After the garage sale my daughter Christine took me to El Farol for lunch.  It was very good.

I rode my bike to the school and then worked for 4 hours helping the janitors clean lockers and then I rode my bike back home.  Now I am going to take a nap and then start cleaning. After my nap I cleaned for a while and then did my arm weight exercises.

I met the group for the early miles.  We ran down 2200 to Temple View and did the usual course.  Carissa and Kris were the only ones there, but as we ran towards Bridal Oaks we met Cheris and Michelle.  Then we regrouped at Bingham and did the course again.  I did part of the course and headed home to get ready for work.  I rode my bike to work and did the 3 miles in 12 minutes but on the way back home it took 14 minutes because it was very windy.

I rode my bike to work this morning and then back home after work.  It only took just over 10 minutes to get home because the wind wasn't blowing.. After a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the group at the church on 114th and 3200 w for the early miles.  Mimi was there and Kris was already off running.  We met up with him and ran through the subdivision and the out to 3200 and toward 106th I turned around before 106th and headed back.  For the regular miles there were 7 more runners and we did the run through the subdivision and out to 3200 and back for the warmup.  Then they were doing a 3 mile tempo run but I turned around at the same spot as the warmup because it needed to get to work. I rode my bike to work and then back home again.  Then I took a nap and did some cleaning and then weeded the flower beds.

At 6am this morning Duke and I ran to redwood and then south to 126th and then east to 13th west and then north and then about a half a block before 114th we turned east and ran through Clover Ridge and then back out to 13th west and home on 114th.  It was a good run next week I will do 5 miles 3 times a week and then after that 6 and I will be ready for the Riverton 10K.

I rode my bike to work and then back home.  It took me 12 minutes to get there and under 10 to get home.

Met the group for the early miles at a church in Daybreak.  I was the only one there for the early miles so I started off with Duke and then saw Kris come running up.  We turned around and headed west and then north and then west again and made I large loop around and back.  Then we met the others.  Cheryl was in charge and there were not many other people.  Debbie didn't want to run fast because she had a pulled muscle so I ran with her.  We were going to run up to Daybreak Lake and around.  After we got up the street a ways Debbie decided that her pulled muscle hurt too much so we just ran back to the church.  After that we both went home.  I didn't ride my bike to work because I needed to hurray home to get ready for my nephew's wedding at the Salt Lake Temple.  It was a very nice wedding.

I rode my bike to work and then back again after work.  Then I took a short nap and took Becca to her Dr. appt in Park City.

I met the group for he early miles at the parkway trail on 98th.  Peggy was the only one there.  She, duke and I ran south along the trail and ran to 106th and then turned around and headed back.  On the way back Julie was jogging towards us.  We got to the parking lot and kept going on the trail because we still had 4 minutes.  We went north on the trail for about a half a mile and turned around.  For the regular miles there were about 10 other people and we ran north on the trail to the end(about a mile)and turned around and headed back.  Then we went south on the trail and I ran about a half a mile and turned around and headed back so I could get to work by 7.  I rode my bike to work and then back home after work. After my nap I did my arm weight exercises.  I got a good workout today.

I didn't have to work today so I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with my pushups and then I rode my bike on my 6 mile course.  Some of my kids and grandkids are coming over at 10 and we are going on a hike.

Met the group at Hamiltion Park in Bluffdale for the run.  Duke and I ran out to the street and down a ways while waiting for the others.  Only Julie and Cheris came.  When they got there we ran to the first street and then up past Cheris's house and then back out to the 3600 and then headed south until the street turns east.  We ran east for a while and then took a street south until it ended.  Then Duke and I turned around and headed back.  Next week I will start running 6 miles each time.

I rode my bike to work and then back after work.

I met the group at the SJ Soccer field for the early miles.  Only Kris was there.  Duke and I started off early and head south on 2200 to do the SJ 5K course.  Half way through we met Kris coming the other way.  We met again at the end of the course and met up with the others coming for the regular miles.  There were about 8 others for the regular miles.  We ran up Canterwood to 2700 and then turned around and ran half way back and turned around again the went up to 2700 and then north to Bowles Lane and up to the end.  Then everyone else ran along the Canal and I headed back to go to work.  I rode my bike to work and then back home again.

I rode my bike for work and then back home again.  After lunch and a short nap I drove up to Peoa to pick up Becca and take her to Bountiful for her physical therapy.  Then we came home and after dinner I did my arm weight exercises.

Met the group at the church up the street from my house. Duke and I were the only ones there for the early miles so we ran through the subdivision and out to 3200 and then north to 106th.  Then we turned around and headed back.  As we were heading back, Kelli came running towards me.  She was glad she found us.  This is the first time this year she has come to our group.  She ran back with me and then out of a side street Peggy caught up with us and ran back to the church.  We still had 5 minutes so we ran up 114th to the next street and back.  For the regular miles we had about 10 more people come.  We did a 1 mile loop around the subdivision and then back to the church.  Then we did a long run on 90 seconds and off 60.  I turned around when we were almost to 106th because I needed to get to work.  I rode my bike to work and back.  I am now done working at the school for the summer.

Duke and I met the group at Greg's house for the early 5:30 run.  There were only 4 girls today and about 7 guys.  I started off early because I am so slow.  We ran from Greg's house to the parkway trail and headed north to the end of the trail past 98th.  Duke and I were ahead for a few minutes until Duke had to keep stopping at every bush.  The trail was 2.5 miles and I wanted to get in 6 so when I got to the end at 98th I ran south for 6 minutes and then turned around and ran back to the end again.  I'm glad we went early because it was already getting hot.  Then I came home and help my husband clean out irrigation ditches.  After lunch and a short nap we took Becca back home to Peoa.  She will stay there until our Family Outing on Friday.  All 8 of our kids and their families will be with us for our outing in Ephraim.

This morning I did my arm weight exercises and then went to Leslie's and ran 3 miles with her.

Met the group at the church on Sky Drive.  I didn't go to the early miles because I don't have to work any more this summer and I knew I would be too tired to stay for all the regular miles if I went to the early miles.  Also I brought Duke and he can only run 6 miles or he will get a sore leg.  We ran up Sky Drive to 4800 and then we did the 1 mile loop.  I was very tired by then and couldn't see where the group went, but luckily Michelle M and Jameson were late and came running up behind me.  Jameson went one way to look for the group and Michelle went the other.  I followed Michelle on Sky Drive.  When she turned around so did I and then Jameson came running and said he had found them back the other direction.  I followed them and we went to the Gully and crossed the Gully.  By the time I crossed the Gully I wasn't sure where they went but I continued on to Daybreak and then turned left and went back out to 102nd and down the big hill.  On my way down I say Greg coming up.  When I got to 40th west I headed north back to Sky Drive and to the church.  When I got there the others were there.  We talked for a minute and then some of them were going to run more.  I was too tired to run so I came home.  After breakfast I weeded for a while and then voted and then weeded some more.  I am taking a break for about 30 minutes and then I will weed more.

I got up early and went to the temple.  When I got back I rode my bike on the 6 mile route.  I rode fast because I needed to be home to tend my two youngest grandsons.  I rode the course in 20 minutes.  Then I tended two crying grandkids for 3 hours.  They are 15 months and 10 months and they are both Mommy's boys.  I survived and now my house is a wreck.  Now I am going to Peoa to pick up my daughter with the broken leg.

Met the group at the ROI Park in Riverton.  Duke and I didn't go for the early miles.  Dean led us today.  We started off heading north on the parkway trail.  We ran for about a mile and then turned around.  Duke and I kept up most of the run and I was very tired.  Then we ran south on the parkway trail.  We ran for about 15 minutes and then turned around and headed back.  I was very slow and very tired but I made it back to the cars.

I rode my bike on my 6 mile course and then I went to Leslie's and ran 3 miles with her.  Then we got packed up for our family outing in Ephriam.
