I rode my bike with Shannon on our 10 mile course.  It was a fun ride.  Then I went to Leslie's and ran 3 miles.  It was already hot.

I ran two miles with Duke and then rode 8 miles with Shannon.  Then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  I did 50, took a 5 minute break and did 50  more.

I ran the Riverton 10K.  I did a slow and easy 11mm pace.  When I got to the hill I walked for 1 minute.  Leslie and Duke met me at about mile 5.  It really helped to have Duke pull me to the end.  I was very tired.  I hate running races in the heat.  The race started later than usual because they added a 5K and it started 10 minutes before our race.

I biked 8 miles with Shannon and then ran 3 with Leslie.  

Shannon and I biked our usual 8 miles course.  Then I got ready for my sister's getaway.  We met at the Olive Garden for lunch and then all of us except one of my sister's who had to work headed up to my Sister's cabin in Heber.  We spent the weekend eating, playing games, watching movies, eating more and on Saturday we went to the Lake and floated around on my daughters donut raft and had a lot of fun.

I walked/jogged up and down the hills around my Sister's cabin.  We ran down the hills and walked up.

Shannon and I biked our usual 8 mile course and then I ran 3 miles with Leslie.

Duke and I met the group at Bingham.  We started off running to the neighborhood just north of Bingham on the right side.  We did a loop through the neighborhood and then another loop.  Then we did a tempo run through Temple View, Bonanza and the same neighborhood across.  By the time Duke and I got back they were already starting the next part of the run.  We could see them running north on 2200.  They turned on Bridal Oaks.  We could still see them at the end of Bridal Oaks as they turned south on 2700.  Duke and I turned around and went east on Bridal Oaks, back to 2200 and then to Bingham.  When I was almost back to Bingham I saw one of my co workers going north on 2200 so I stopped and talked to her for a few minutes.  I was very, very tired.  Then I went home and date breakfast and rode my bike to Leslie's and then went on a bike ride with her.  We rode from her house up 126th to 3600 and then north to 118th and then up 118th to the Mountain View Corridor.  We rode south on the Corridor and then turned around at the bridge and headed back.  We rode east on 118th and at 2700 Leslie turned south and headed home and I kept going east to Redwood and then home.  I think I got a very good workout today.

Shannon was not feeling well this morning so I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups instead of biking with her.  Then I did some cleaning and weeding before I called and woke Leslie up.  Then I rode my bike to her house and we did a 6.2 mile ride and then I rode home.  I live 2.5 miles from Leslie.  She is a slow bike rider, but I rode fast to her house and fast back home.

Duke and I did our 6 mile South County Pool course.  We went at 5:45 and it was already getting hot.  It was a good thing there were sprinklers for Duke to drink out of because by the end I didn't have any water left.  I went slow and steady and I was still very tired at the end.

I met Shannon at 6am to ride bikes.  We did our usual 8 mile course.  She was very speedy today and we did in in under 30 minutes.  Then I came home and weeded and then did my arm weight exercises.  Then I went with my son, my daugther Bridget and her two kids and two of my other grand kids on a hike to Ensign Peak.  We went early so it wasn't too hot yet.  We had to carry Deklan part of the way.  It was fun.  The view from the top is awesome.

I ran to Leslie's with Duke and then she ran back with us.  I thought it was only 2.5 miles and that I was even slower than usual, but on the way back Leslie had her GPS watch and it was actually 3.2 miles.  

I rode bikes with Shannon.  We did our usual 8 mile course.  We did it fast this time which I really like to do.  Then Duke and I ran our 3 mile course with Leslie.

My husband and I are visiting my daughter and her family in Idaho.  I didn't exercise but I spent a lot of time chasing kids and playing with them.  It had been a fun visit.

Shannon and I did our regular 8 mile ride.  She is getting a lot faster so I got a pretty good workout.  Then I did some cleaning and indexing before I called and woke up Leslie.  She, Duke and I ran miles.

Shannon and I rode our bikes 11 miles today and we did it in 45 minutes.  We both got a good workout.  I didn't have time to ride with Leslie because I had to take my daughter Becca up town for her State esthetic test.

Duke and I did our South County Pool 6 mile run.  For some reason I was feeling very tired.  On the way back when Duke stopped for a minute I almost felt like I was going to faint so I leaned down and put my head between my knees.  When I got home I had to lay down for a few minutes.

I rode 8 miles with Shannon.  She wasn't as fast as last week and I thought we were going to go 11 miles so we almost crashed when I kept going straight and she turned.  After I got home I weeded for half and hour and then called and woke up Leslie.  She and I ran 3 miles.

Met the group for the early miles at the parkway trail in Riverton.  Duke and I were the only ones at the early miles.  We started north on the trail and ran to where it ends in the subdivision.  Then we ran back where Lisa Dudley caught up with us.  It wasn't time for the others to come so we ran north on the trail for a couple of minutes and then came back.  When Michelle Margetts got  there she gave us all our Team Iron Dean pins.  Then we headed north on the trail again.  Duke and I kept up until he had to stop and use a bush.  I felt very hot and tired so I didn't mind that Duke kept stopping.  I turned around before I got to 114th and headed back.  I felt very hot and tired when I got to the car.  I was going to bike with Leslie when I got home but it looked like it might rain so I decided to do my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups instead.  I will bike with Leslie tomorrow.

I rode the usual 8 mile route with Shannon.  Then I came home, ate breakfast, called and woke Leslie up and rode to her house.  We did a quick loop around her block and then I rode back home.  On the ride to Leslie's and the ride back I ride as fast as I can.  On the way to her house it took me almost 14 minutes and the way home it took 10.  The way home is downhill.

This morning Duke and I ran to Leslie's and then she ran back with us.  I made her breakfast and then took her home.

Shannon and I did a shorter loop on our bikes because there were lots of dark clouds and lightening.  We did it fast so we still got a good workout.  Then I came home and did my arm weight exercises.

This morning my friend Shannon and I did a longer ride.  We rode from her house down to 13th west and the south to Bluffdale.  Then we rode west to 3600  West and north to 118th and then east back to redwood and home.  It was a 15 mile ride and took us just over 1 hour.  Then I got a drink, refilled my water bottle and headed out the door with Duke.  We ran to Leslie's house which is 3.1 miles away and then she ran back with Duke and I.  After I made her breakfast, I took her home.  I think I got a good workout.

I rode my regular 8 mile route with Shannon and then I ran 3 miles with Leslie.

Met the group at Centennial Park.  We ran through the subdivision and out to 3600 W and then south past the cemetery and across the street to another subdivision.  We ran around the block in the subdivision a few times and then went back out to 3600 west and south to 134th and then east until we got back to the street by the park.  I was so slow that I couldn't tell where to turn but Peggy came back for me a couple of times.  I really appreciated that.  I was very dead at the end.  It was very hot and muggy.
