I exercised less this week than I have the whole year.  Leslie and I were going to run 6 on Friday morning since I had the day off and we had family coming in for the weekend.  Late Thursday afternoon my daughter that lives in Idaho called and said her husband had been hurt and they were life flighting him to the IMC Hospital in Murray.  Then she drove down with the kids.  They stayed at Leslie's because we already had a house full staying with us.  Tyler fell off a pivot and landed on his back.  He broke his back in 3 places and fractured his pelvis.  They didn't operate until 3:30 pm on Friday afternoon.  I tended the kids all day Friday and then Leslie picked them up at about 7:30 pm.  Tyler is very lucky that he is not paralyzed or dead.  It will be a long recovery but we are all very thankful that he will be okay.  Next week I plan on getting back into exercising.

After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I tended Christine's kids along with Hailey Jenny's daughter.  Jenny's other kids went with their grandmother that lives in Tooele.  Tyler, Jenny's husband is doing pretty well and will probably get to go home tomorrow.

Since I had to be to work at 6am and the BBK's aren't meeting in October I decided to jog after work.  After work and a short nap I ran from my house down redwood to 106th and back.  It felt good to run again after such a long break.  Jenny called me on my way home from work and said they were on their way back from Idaho.  Jenny made a bed in the back of the van for Tyler.  I'm sure it will be a long ride home.  He has to wear a very large brace when ever he gets out of bed.  He can't bend, or turn or pick up anything heavier than a bottle of milk.  It will be a long recovery but I sure he will do well.  Jenny found out yesterday that she is having another boy.  We were disappointed for about 10 seconds.  Jenny has 4 boys and one girl and would love to have a sister for Hailey.

My life has been so hectic this week that I only exercised one time and it was only a 3 mile run.

I went to my triathlon class this morning.  We swam for 40 minutes and then rode the spin bikes for 40 minutes and then ran a 5k outside.  It was quite a good workout and I was glad to finally get in a good workout after so much time off.  My life has been crazy the past few weeks between having visitors for conference, my SIL getting injured and then this week I had sister's in town for my sister's temple sealing.  I really had a good time visiting with all my brothers and sisters.

After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.

I had to be to work at 6am again and since I didn't wake up quite early enough I was only able to run 2.5 miles instead of 3 before work.  After work I took a short nap and then spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning my house.  We are having a progressive dinner tonight for RS and the dessert is at my house.

After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I went to Leslie's this morning to ride bikes.  We rode from her house down 40th west to 98th south and then down 98th.  We past bangerter and then past 3600 west when I ran over a rock and popped my tire.  We stopped and I filled the tire with my co2 canister and it went flat in seconds.  I did have a spare tube but Leslie thought it would take us too long to change it so I called Ben and he came and rescued us.  He took us back to Leslie's and then I came home.  After I got home I used the Elliptical for 15 minutes.

I went to Leslie's this morning and we did our 6 mile daybreak run.  The weather was cool and it felt good.  We were glad we had our headlights because it was dark and we were the only ones running around the lake.  It was a good run and I had fun visiting with Leslie.

Leslie went to Jenny's to help her for the weekend so I went to my Tri class without her.  We swam 40 minutes, did spin class for 40 minutes and then ran our 5K down the canal.  It was a very good workout.  Then I came home and helped my husband harvest the rest of the garden, took my son to the chiropractor, got groceries, cleaned and made salsa.  Now I have to finish cleaning up the mess.

I didn't have time to exercise today.  After work and a short nap I took my son to the chiropractor and then came home and used my tomatoes to make and bottle spaghetti sauce and then made dinner.  After dinner I picked up a Rx and a few groceries and came home and cleaned the kitchen.  Now I am pressuring the spaghetti sauce.

I had to be to work at 6 am so at 5am I ran from my house down to Redwood and then up to 106th and back.  It was a good work out.  Tonight I will bike with Leslie.

After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.

After work and a short nap I took my son to the doctor.  He has been having a lot of back pain and swelling up.  They took a blood test and will call with the results tomorrow.  When I got home Becca and I went to the JRT by parkway palisades and ran.  We ran 3 miles.  She has lost 34lbs out of the 100 she needs to loose so she wasn't able to keep up with me but I was very proud of her for making it 3 miles.   I plan on running with her once a week.

Leslie and I only went 6 today because I was at the emergency room with my son until 1am.  Our family Dr. sent us over after the test results came back because they thought he might be going into renal failure.  They did all sorts of tests and said everything was normal.  My son was very frustrated because he still has a lot of back pain and his legs and feet are still swollen very bad.  I still woke up at 5:40 even though I didn't get home until 1am.  Leslie and I did our daybreak 6 mile run.  It was very cool weather and felt good.

I was going to do my leg weight exercises after work but I did so much lifting at work that I decided to wait until Wednesday.  After a short nap I used the Elliptical for 15 minutes and the exercise bike for 10.  Our exercise bike is 100 times harder than riding a bike outside.  After 10 minutes on it I'm dead.

I didn't get a chance to exercise at all yesterday.  After work I went to a co worker's house to make grape jelly and then I had to take my son to the Dr.  Today after work I ran from my house down redwood road to 106th and then back.  It was nice a cool and it felt great.

My daughter Becca was going to come over tonight and jog along the JRParkway but then she didn't make it so instead of running by myself I used the Elliptical for 30 minutes, the exercise bike for 10 and the glider for 10.  It was a good workout but I sure don't enjoy it as much as running outside.  I'm glad that the BBK's are going to start meeting next week.

Leslie and I ran from her house down 40th west to 98th, then down 98th to 2700 West and then north to Bueno Vista Dr. to Christine's house.  We stopped, used the restroom and refilled our water and then Chrissy, Leslie and I started back.  When we got to the light on 90th Christine turned around and headed back home.  She was very glad we came so she could run with us.  She made it 3 miles which is the longest she has gone since she has had trouble with her leg.  I was very tired on the way back and had to walk for a minute when we got to the bridge over Bangerter and then we walked when we got to Leslie's street.  It was the longest run I've done since the Hobblecreek Half Marathon.
