Shannon and I rode bikes and she dropped me off at my work at mile 14.  After work I rode home and the house was locked and I did not have a key so I rode to my daughters house.

I met the group at River Front Park for the early miles.  No one was there except a guy on a motorcycle.  I locked my car and started running south.  I ran to Parkway Palisades and then turned around and ran back.  Kris Lundell was just running back also and we decided that no one else was coming.  We ran to 114th and he ran west up the hill and I turned around and went back.  When I got back, Peggy was just pulling up.  She and I ran south to 114th and then back to the park.  Then the others started coming.  I started off early running on the parkway north.  The group caught me before 106th.  I turned around when my watch said 45 minutes because I needed to be to work at 7am.  I ran back to the park and headed home.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

Shannon slept in so I went on a 3 mile bike ride with my husband and then I rode to work.  After work I rode home.

I ran the Riverton 10K.  My goal was to make it to the end and I did.  My youngest daughter ran it too and this was her first 10K.  Her goal was to bet me which she did.

I rode bikes with Shannon.  She was tired from riding the Tour of Riverton the day before and the wind was blowing hard so we only went 8 miles.

I went to the run GR8 run.  I did 5 miles and I went very slow and it was very hard.  I wish running was easy like it used to be.

I rode bikes with my husband before I went to work.  I worked at Valley High registering kids for summer school.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I met the group at River Front Park for the early miles.  No one was there when I started so I ran towards 114th and then turned around.  When I was almost back I saw Mike and Peggy running towards me.  I turned around and we ran north to the ponds and they turned and used the restrooms and I jogged along until Peggy was done and asked her which way they were going.and I headed north on the Parkway trail while Peggy waited for Mike.  I ran almost to 106th and then turned around and headed back to the park.  Several others were there for the regular miles.  We turned at Parkway Palisades and then turned north on the next street.  Debbie caught up with me because she was late.  We both turned north.  The group went on the Parkway trail and I ran on the road back to the park.  I was very tired after running only 4 miles.

Shannon's bike had a flat so before work I rode bikes with my husband.  We went 3 miles, then I rode to work which is 3 miles away and then back home after work.  Then after a short nap and visiting teaching I rode my bike to my daughter Christine's.  She lives about 2.5 miles away.  She has an old Mountain Bike and she rode her bike with Leslie and could not keep up.  Leslie is a slow bike rider so I told her the bike must not work too good.  Anyway I rode to her house and let her ride my bike while I rode the old Mountain Bike. Boy was that bike a piece of crap.  After about a half a mile I said lets turn around this bike is killing me.  Then I rode my bike home.  I am sure glad I have a nice road bike.  Christine told her husband and he said she could get money out of their savings to get a road bike.  I am glad because she and I are doing a Tri at the end of August.

Met the group at Riverton High.  I was 15 minutes late for the early miles so I just ran a mile and then came back to Riverton.  We did a mile warm up and then I did 2 miles on the track while they were doing 800's.  Then I had to get to work.

It was raining this morning so I didn't ride bikes with Shannon.  When Ben came home I rode 3 miles with him.  I rode fast because I wanted to see how fast I could go 3 miles.  I did it in 9 mins and 27 seconds.  Then we got packed up and headed to Vernal to visit my daughter and her family.

I slept in today and then Ben, my granddaughter Cassie and I took their dog on a walk around the block.  Then we all went to Dinosaur National Monument.  We had a fun time.  Then we came back, ate lunch, took naps and visited for a couple of hours before we drove home.

I rode bikes with Shannon we did our usual course except instead of going all the way up 144th to 3600 we turned on 2700 and went north to the next street and then west to 3600.  While we were on that street we saw a red fox and a doe with a baby fawn.  That really made our day.  Then we rode on 3600 to 118th and then north to South Jordan Middle.  After work I rode home.

I was a little bit late for the early miles and Peggy and Mike had already left on the run.  I ran along the road to 114th and then back and did this twice which makes 2 miles.  Then the others were there for the regular miles.  We ran to Parkway Palisades and then did mile repeats up and down the big hill.  I made it up and down twice for 2 miles and then headed back to get ready for work. After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

Shannon and I did our regular bike ride but we didn't see the fox or the doe and fawn today.  She dropped me off at mile 14 for work.  After work I rode the 3 miles home.

Met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  Cheris was the only other person there.  We did our usual 2 mile course through the subdivision.  When we got back to the High School Rachel and Melanie were there.  We were doing a 1 mile warm up through the subdivision and then doing speed work on the track.  Since I had to leave early I just did the 2 mile coure through the subdivision and then headed home to get ready for work.

I rode the 3 mile course with my husband and then with my son.

I went to the Run GR8 run and ran 3 miles.  Then I went home and rode my bike to Christine's and then she and I rode on a 5 mile ride and then I rode back home.

I rode bikes with Shannon and since I did not have to work we just rode to my street.  It was a good ride.  I spent the day doing a good clean on my living room.  I really looks nice now.

I was a couple minutes late for the early miles so I just ran north on 40th west for 13 minutes and then turned around and ran back.  The others were there for the regular miles.  We headed west up the big hill but turned north before we got to the top.  I ran for 13 minutes and turned around and headed back to the car.  I only run 13 minute miles now so that is how I tell how far I go.

Shannon and I rode bike at 6:30 this morning.  She only wants to go 10 on Wednesday's and Friday's because she does weight training on those days at work and it gets her very tired.

Met the group at Riverton High for the regular miles.  I do not have to work again until August 18th.  We just ran around the track.  They did 800's and I did a continuous slow run.  I was glad I made it 4 miles.  Then I went home and did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I rode bikes with Shannon this morning.  She thought we were going at 6:30 and I thought we were going at 6 so when I got to her house she wasn't out yet so I called her and then just rode around while i was waiting for her.  I rode about 2 miles while I was waiting.  Then we did our 10  mile ride south on 13th west to bluffdale and then home on redwood.  It was a good ride.  Then I weeded and then went to my daughters to swim.  I did not do laps I just played with the kids.

My daughter Christine and I tried a practice Triathlon.   We swam 300 meters in her pool, then we biked 12 miles and ran 3.4.  The swim and bike were easy for me but the run was hard.  I beat Christine in the swim and went slow for her on the bike and she went slow with me on the run.  We got a good work out.

I biked 17 miles with Shannon and then I ran 3 miles with Leslie.  I went slow a few places for Shannon and Leslie went slow on the run for me.

I met the group for the early miles.  I did 4 miles and then went to substitute at the summer feed.

I rode 8 miles with Shannon.  It was very windy and we were both tired so we only went 8.  Then I came home and did my arm weight exercises.
