I had the day off so this morning I went to Leslie's and we ran from her house down 40th west to 98th south and back.  Then I came home and cleaned the house, had a bath and went to lunch with my daughter Christine.  After lunch I took a short nap and then did more cleaning.  Then I did my arm weight exercises.

I met the BBK's at Riverton for the early miles.  Since I was the only one that came I ran around the parking lot for 31 minutes.  The last 5 minutes Cheris came and I visited with her and then before I left I talked to Mike and Peggy.

Met the BBK's at Julie's house for the early miles.  I was the only one there early again so I ran up and down Julie's street and then down past Cheris's house and north on Redwood to 118th and then back past Julie's.  When the others got there I talked to them for a few minutes and then left because I had to be to work at 6am.  After work I took a short nap, went to the temple and then did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.

I went to Leslie's this morning and we ran our 6 mile Daybreak run.  After a cleaned up quick and went to my nieces baptism.  Then I came home and cleaned and went with Becca to run on the parkway.  I took Duke and walked fast while she ran.  She went 2.5 miles and I went 2.

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

This morning a 5 am I ran from my house down redwood to 106th South and back.  After work and a short nap I ran 1 mile on the Parkway trail with my daughter Becca.   Then she helped me plant some Tulip and Daffodil bulbs that Leslie gave me.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises after work and a short nap.  I decided not to do my push ups because my arm and shoulder have been hurting a lot lately.

I met the BBK's at the church on 124th off 13th west for the early miles.  I was the only one there so I waited for about 5 minutes and then Cheris got there.  I really enjoyed running with her a talking to her.  She didn't even mind going slow with me.

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon class.  There was only one other girl there and our teacher didn't come. We swam for about 35 minutes.  The other girl was not staying for the spin bikes and Leslie has a sore foot so I just went to Leslie's and used her spin bike for 40 minutes.  I still got a good workout.  I would have run after but I had a lot of cleaning to do and had to be to a baby shower for my niece at 11am.

Met the BBK's at Bingham High for the early miles.  Kelli, Scott and Kris were there. It was nice to have someone to run with.  We ran around temple view, Bonanza  and then across the street through that subdivision.  I started early and everyone caught up and passed me.  When they ran across the street I took a short cut and got ahead of them.  Coming down 2200 they caught back up and I visited with Kelli running through the parking lot.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 50 mens pushups.

I met the BBK's at the soccer fields in SJ.  I got there a few minutes early and since I had to be to work at 6 am I started and ran the 5K course in the right direction.  It was a little chilly at first when I was running into the wind, but when I ran the other direction I got hot.  I made it back to the car, said Hi to Mike and Peggy and then left.

I went to my triathlon class this morning.  I swam for 40 minutes and biked for 40 minutes but then I had to leave before we ran because we had a stake service project I needed to be to.  Leslie didn't come today because she had a sinus infection.  I still got a very good workout.

I wanted to run outside today but our group wasn't meeting because of the cold and Leslie didn't want to run in the cold so I used the elliptical instead.  I sure hope the weather warms up because I would sure rather run outside.  We had 6 of our kids and three son-in-laws and 10 grandkids over for Thanksgiving dinner.  It was a very good dinner.  We missed the other 2 kids and 13 grandkids but at least everyone will come for our Christmas party.

Leslie and I met Eric, Alan and Michelle at the north parking lot of Bingham High.  Cheris and Julie jogged over from their houses to say Hi. Eric, Alan and Michelle were running 13 but Leslie and I were only going 6 because Leslie has had a sore foot.  Leslie and I started off early because I am so slow.  We ran north on 2200 to 98th and then up to Glenmore.  The others passed us before we got to 3600 West.  Leslie and I turned around just before the Glenmore Golf course.  By the time we turned around I was getting hot so the cold wind blowing on us when we turned around felt good to me.  I finally took off my warm stuff when we got to 2200 west.  It was a good run and I was tired by the time we got back to Bingham.

I met Cheris, Mike, Peggy and Curt at the SJ rec center to run on the track.  The track is .10 mile so we had to run 10 times to make a mile.  I'm not sure how many times I went around because I lost track but I ran for 50 minutes with a 2 minute break at 30 minutes to go outside and cool off.  I enjoyed visiting with the group.  They stayed with me for about 5 or so laps and then they ran faster and I just saw them as the passed me.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I did 25 pushups but didn't want to make my arm hurt so I didn't do more than that.  I've been going to the chiropractor for my arm and he thinks I might have a slight tear in my rotor cuff.
