I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 men's pushups.  After dinner I swam.  I did 30 laps and didn't feel too bad after.

Met the BBK's at the church on 102nd and 40th west for the early miles.  Michelle M was going slow because she has and injury.  I had a good visit with her.  I stayed for part of the next hour and was tired.  When we started up the big hill I started before everyone and stayed ahead for part of the run.  By the end I was only ahead of Kris Bullock.  I was very tired.  After work and a short nap I used the stationary bike for 20 minutes.  I have to help with a Relief Society activity at 4 pm so I didn't have time to do 30 minutes.

I did my arm weight exercises.  Leslie was still not feeling great and I was lazy so we didn't swim.

Met the group at the trailhead on 98th for the early miles.  We ran up the big hill to 10th west, south on 10th west to 106th and then down to Kneaders and then turned on the street into the subdivision.  Dean held the gate so we could all squeeze through.  Then we ran through the subdivision to the parkway trail and back to the parking lot to meet the rest of the group.  For the second part we ran north on the trail to the end and turned around and headed back.  I stopped after I passed the second large building past 106th and turned around and headed back.  Boy was I tired.  After work and a short nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.

Leslie, Duke and I met the group at Riverton Park to run the Riverton 1/2 marathon.  Leslie took Duke and we started a few minutes before everyone else.  I thought if I went slow enough I would be able to make it.  Most of the group caught up with me as I was approaching the big hill.  I asked Michelle how far the halfway mark was and she said 144th.  Wow that made me think I would never make it.  Alan and Eric caught up with me just before we turned to go on the parkway trail.  I told them to tell Leslie Hi for me.   When I got to the Tithing Hill condo's as I was going up the big hill, Leslie came running back down the hill with Duke.  I guess she felt sorry for me because I was so slow.  She wanted me to take Duke but I told her I was okay.  When Leslie got to the light on 126th it was red so I caught up with her and Duke.  As we were running down towards the South County Pool we noticed that Duke was limping.  We decided to turn around and take Duke back to the car and go home.  We made it home and I changed into shorts because I was too hot.  We left Duke home and we went on another 4 mile run.  Duke sat at the window and howled the whole time we were gone.  We should have done more but I'm tending my grandkids for the weekend and I also needed to go to Costco and be to a baby shower at 1am.  I enjoy tending my grandkids, but boy do they make a mess.
