I didn't do my leg weight exercises today because I had to meet with a financial advisor after work.  Leslie and I rode our bikes at about 4:30.  We rode down Parkway Palisades along the trail north to the end and then turned around and came came.  On the way back when we got off the trail and started to ride I noticed that my back tire was flat.  I used my co2 canister but it didn't fill the tire so we called Kent to rescue us.  By the time be got home it was 5:30 and almost dark.  Wow it gets dark early.

Met the BBK's at the SJ Library for the early miles.  We ran a course around the block, up to the light on redwoodd and 104th and back down past the library to the end of the road and back to the Library.  There were 6 of us for the early miles but for the later miles there were about 20 people including Leslie.  She actually made it on time.  Duke, Leslie amd I were towards the back on the same route only this time we ran through Wyngate and then out and then we turned  off 104th towards the library, passed the library and headed back down the road towards 13th west again.  Then I had to leave and the group was headed towards Shellbrook.  After work I did my leg weight exercises along with stomach and 70 men's pushups.

Leslie and I rode our bikes this afternoon.  I tried to fix my flat and spent hours and then took my tire to a bike shop and they fixed it in 5 minutes.  They put a new tire on that should be more thorn resistent.  We rode our usual course down Parkway Palisades.  Boy it gets dark early.

Met the BBK's at the Park Trail off 126th for the early miles.  There were about 6 of us there.  I was glad I had my headlight because it was very dark.  We went north along the trail to the Bridge they are building over the river.  It was about 1.6 miles out.  When we got back the rest of the group was there and we took off going the other direction.  There were probably about 20 people there.  I was going to turn around at 1.5 miles but I ended up going about 2.5 miles before I turned around.  After work I met Leslie at Gene Fullmer fitness to swim.  We swam for about 45 minutes.  Leslie is sure a good swimmer and I'm getting a little better.

This morning Duke and I drove to Leslie's, then we ran from her house to 40th west and went south to 118th south and then east to redwood road, then we turned north and ran to 114th and then east to my house.  Chrissy met us at my house and after we took off our warm stuff we turned around and headed back the same way.  Leslie took Duke both directions.  On the way down she went slow for me and on the way back she took off and Chrissy went slow with me.  Chrissy discovered that as long as she runs very slow her knee won't hurt.  I had a good time visiting with Leslie on the way down and Chrissy on the way back.  The way back was a lot harder because it was all up hill.  I saw Alan Ford on the way back to Leslie's just past the hill from the temple.  He was running the other direction and said "Hi".  I was very tired after our run but I made it the whole way without walking.  We ran a total of 10 miles.

I wasn't able to do my arm weight exercises after work because I tended my grandson while my daughter went to the temple.  After Leslie got off work we rode our bikes on the usual course down Parkway Palisades along the trail.  On the way back from the trail as we were almost to the big hill on Parkway Palisades Leslie yelled that she had a flat tire.  I stopped and we called Kent to rescue us.  While we were waiting I notice that I had two thorns in my front tire when we took them out my front tire went flat.

Met the BBK's at a park in Herriman but didn't go to the early miles.  I was able to stay the whole time because I took the day off work to tend Christine's kids while she had sinus surgery.  We ran a loop around the park and then ran out 2.5 miles along a trail through Herriman and then back and another loop around the park.  I was very glad I wore a tank top and shorts because I got very hot.

After work I started to feel sick so I didn't exercise.

No exercise today.  I went to the Doctor instead of work and now I'm on a RX for bronchitis.

Today I feel so weak that after I sit up for 1/2 an hour I have to lay down for 1 hour.  My cough isn't as bad as yesterday.  I guess I won't exercise until Monday.

I didn't do any exercise today but I actually felt good enough to stay up for several hours before I had to lay down.  I think by Monday I should be able to exercise again.

Last night when we got back from visiting our grandkids in Tooele my foot started hurting.  It ached all night and most of the day at work.  I went to the Dr. after work and they did an xray.  It is not broken but they think I might have a stress fracture.  I guess I will just being doing weights and swimming for a couple of weeks.  After dinner tonight I did my arm weight exercises.

My foot is still hurting quite a bit but it might be slightly better than yesterday.  After Leslie got off work we swam for about 40 minutes.  We did front crawl the whole time.

My foot is feeling a lot better today and it has only hurt a few times.  After work I took a short nap and then went to help Christine.  She had her surgery a week ago and is still feeling quite weak.  I cleaned for about 2 hours and then came home.  After dinner I did my leg weight and stomach exercises and 70 mens pushups.  In a little while I will go visiting teaching.

Leslie and I went to ride our bikes this afternoon.  We started down 114th to redwood and we were riding past the Tack and Feed store and Leslie went to turn onto the sidewalk and crashed.  She didn't break anything and didn't get run over but she was scratched and bruised.  We walked our bikes back home and I used the eliptical and stationary bike.  I'm glad she didn't get hurt any worse. 

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon class today.  We swam 40 minutes, biked 40 minutes and then Leslie had to leave so I did the Eliptical for 15 minutes.  It didn't hurt my foot so Tuesday I will try running again.  The class was hard but I wasn't as dead afterwards as sometimes.  Then I came home and cleaned the house.

After work I did my arm weight exercises and then after dinner I met Leslie a the pool.  I swam front crawl for 45 minutes.

Met the BBK's at Peggy's for the early miles.  It was so nice to run again.  I haven't run for two weeks.  I enjoyed visiting with Peggy, Mike, Michelle M and others.  I had to be to work at 6am so had to leave after the early miles.  This afternoon Leslie and I rode our bikes.  Boy was it cold.  It is so much colder riding bikes than running. We only rode for 30 minutes but my hands were frozen by the time we got back and I even wore gloves.

After work I took my daughter Becca to Golden Corral for lunch.  Then I went home and had a nap.  I didn't excercise at I but I sure did eat plenty.

Met the BBK's at the park in daybreak.  We ran from the park back to 114th and up to daybreak lake.  We ran around daybreak lake and back to the park.  I had a nice time visiting Mike on the way up and then Eric on the way around.  Eric, Sue, Debbie and I lost the rest of the group on one of the turns when we went up instead of down.  We kept running and ran towards the Rio Tinto building and then stopped to decide where to go.  About then Scott came running up behind us.  He had lost he group also.  I went back the other direction with Scott and we hooked up Nancy and Melanie and then ran under 114th and back to the park.  I really had an enjoyable run.  I love running with the group.  Duke had a great time too.  When I got home I ate breakfast and got the turkey on to cook.  We had 3 of our married daughters and son-in-laws and grandkids over along with the 3 single kids and Kent and I.  We had 20 people total and had a very nice dinner and visit.  Now 2 of my daughters and I are going to see the new Twilight show.

Leslie, Duke and I ran our South County Pool 6 miles course.  Leslie took Duke and we all went very slow.  My foot only hurt a tiny bit.

I did my leg weight and stomach exercises along with my 70 mens pushups.  Then I cleaned the house and then Leslie and I rode our bikes.  We rode down redwood to 118th and then west to 40th west and then north past the temple.  Then we stopped at Leslie's and took off some of our warm stuff and headed back the same way.  It was a good ride.
