I had to be to work at 6am and didn't have time to meet the group so Duke and I did our usual 3 mile route at 4:30 am.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 80 pushups.

I met the group for the early miles.  They were meeting close by.  Duke and I stayed with them for the 3 miles and then headed home so I could be to work at 6.  I had a good visit with Peggy.

Since I had the day off and tomorrow I will be helping Leslie move, I ran with Leslie this morning.  We ran our 6 mile daybreak course.  It was a good run but will be our last for that course since Leslie is moving.

The group was meeting at Michelle M house and since Leslie wanted to sleep in longer I took Duke and we ran to Michelle's to meet the group.  There were five others besides me.  We ran out to 13th west and then south to 120th south.  It was very windy and chilly running this direction and I was glad I had on long pants and my warm stuff.  Duke pulled fast enough that I was ahead of the group until Leslie called and said she was on the way.  We ran east to Lampton and then the end and when we got to the trail on 114th they went north and I went west and headed back to my house to meet Leslie.  We left Duke and headed  north on 13th west and we crossed over 106th and just as we got to the bottom we saw the group coming so we followed them west.  They turned left by Del Taco and we kept going to redwood and turned south and headed back home.  It was a good run.

I ran 3 miles with Duke before work.  It was snowing just a little but I still got very warm by the end of my run.

I met the group at Peggy's house for the early miles.  Only Peggy, Cheris and I came for the early miles.  Duke and I started out ahead until he stopped at every bush.  We kept up most of the time and then I had to hurry off to work.

I had the day off to take my son to the Dr.  Instead of running this morning I went to the temple.  This afternoon I did my arm weight exercises.

I met the group at the SJ soccer field for the early miles.  Peggy and Lisa were there and about half way through Michelle came.  Duke and I kept up real well until he had to stop and use every bush, and then pulled me very fast to catch up.  I still have to be to work at 6am every day.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with  50 pushups, 30second break and 30 more pushups.

I accidently entered my Saturday's run on last Saturday's blog.  I ran 4 miles with Duke and 4 miles with Leslie and my group on Saturday.

This morning before work, Duke and I ran our usual 3 miles course.  This afternoon I will do my arm weight exercises.

I met the group for the early miles.  Duke and I kept up pretty good until Duke kept stopping to use bushes.  I enjoyed the run.

I ran 3 miles with Duke before work.

Met the group at the Parkway Palisades park for the early miles.  Michelle M was the only one there.  I had a good visit with her and on the way we met up with Peggy and Julie who came a little late.  It was a good run.

After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/ stomach exercises along with 50 pushups, 30 second break and 30 more.  I wish I could do 80 without a break, but for some reason I must be getting soft and can't do as many as I used to be able to do.

Leslie wanted to sleep in for a while so I got up and cleaned until 7:45 and then called and woke her up.  We only ran 4 miles because she was going to look at a house at 10:30.  We ran through Ralphy's neighborhood north to Daybreak until we hit 2 miles and then turned around.  It wasn't too cold but there were lots of icy spots so we had to go slow.  It was a good run.

It was raining before work so I ran 3 miles after work with Duke.

Duke and I met the group at the SJ library for the early miles.  We ran all around through the subdivisions and back.  It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting with everyone.

I ran 3 miles with Duke before work.

Duke and I met the group at Bingham High for the Thanksgiving Day run.  We only ran 3 miles with them and then I had to get home to put the Turkey in the oven.  I was going to run more with Leslie later, but we both got lazy.  We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner at noon with All of my kids and grandkids except one daughter and her family who went to Minnesota to be with her mother-in-law.  We had 34 people here and it was a lot of fun but crowded.  Next year if everyone comes we will have to get one more table.

Today I did my arm weight exercises.  Tomorrow I am running the Santa race with 4 of my daughters and granddaughter.  I'm sure it will be fun except for having to wear a full Santa Suit.  I will be roasting by the end.

I met the running group at Julie's for our Saturday run.  Eric and I started off early because I am so slow and he thinks he is slow.  I had a good visit with Eric.  We ran from Julie's to the Riverton Park to do the 10K course.  Since I was running a race this afternoon I turned around at 3 miles and headed back to Julie's.  It was a fun run.

This afternoon 4 of my daughters, 2 son-in-laws and 4 of my grandkids and I went to Ogden and ran the Santa run.  We all met at Bridget and Glens house in Ogden and then went to the race from there.  It is called the Santa run because everyone in the race is wearing a full Santa Suit.  There were about 1000 Santa's.  We were closer to the back so it took a long time to actually start running.  I ran with my Granddaughter Rachel who is 11 years old and is on the cross country team at Hawthorne Academy.  She got tired a few times so we walked, but most of the time she was able to keep up with me.  We had a good time running together and at the end we sprinted and passed up five or six people.  Then we walked back to our spot for the parade.  We really had a fun time and got some cute pictures of all of us in Santa Suits.  If I knew how to put pictures on this blog I would put a picture of all of us in Santa Suits.

I ran 3 miles with Duke before work.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I didn't run this morning because my foot was very sore.  After dinner I used the Spin bike.  I got a good workout, but don't enjoy it as much as running outside.

I took another day off of running, but I did use the spin bike again.  I plan on running in the morning with the group.
