Leslie and I did our Day Break 6 mile run.  I think I was even slower than when I ran it after our 32 mile bike ride.  I did run the whole time and made it to the end.  Then I came home, cleaned up, cleaned the whole house and took a nap.  Then I got groceries, made dinner and folded laundry.  Now Leslie and I are going swimming at the Blackridge Reservoir.  We just got back from the reservoir.  Boy I can't believe how low it is now.  I've never seen it that low.  We still got a good swim in. 

Met the BBK's at Bingham for our run.  We did a mile warm up down to the park on 2200.  Then we did 800's on the track.  I was extra tired today because I had allergies last night and couldn't breath.  I finally got up and used some Afrin but then I couldn't get to sleep so at 2am I took a sleeping pill.  Now I feel like a zombie.  I wanted to make it 6 miles but was too tired and only made it 5.  I will do my arm weight exercise this afternoon and then tonight Leslie and I will swim again.

Leslie and I rode bikes this morning.  My bike is at her house now because we can't pull in or out of my driveway because of the road construction.   We rode from Leslie's house south on 40th west to 114th up past Daybreak and out to highway 111 and then back.  The wind going south was horrible so we were glad we didn't have to ride that direction very long.  Now I am getting packed up for our Family Outing.  My husband and all my kids, son-in-laws except one and all my grandkids except 5 are coming.  We are going to a girls camp in Tabiona that has cabins, and amphitheatre,  pavillion, fire pit, restrooms and a large pond with boats.  This afternoon I will do my leg weight/stomach exercises.

Leslie and I ran 3 miles.  We ran from her house down past her church to the park and then back along the canal to 106th and then back to her house.  We are going to our family outing at noon so we didn't have time to run any farther.

We arrived at Warm Springs resort on Thursday afternoon  with all our family and spent an hour walking around looking at the cabins, pavillion and amphitheatre.  Then we walked down to the pond and used the paddle boats and kayaks.  We made dinner and then walked back to the ponds and used the boats again and then walked backed to the cabins.  Then we had skits and made smores.  Then we walked around and visited everyone at their cabins.    Friday morning after breakfast we cleaned up, did crafts and games and then walked back to the ponds.  We used the paddle boats and then had kayak races.  Then we had lunch, took naps and walked back to the ponds and used the boats again.  Then we walked back to the cabins and played kick ball.  Then we had dinner.  After dinner Leslie and I took several of the kids on a hike.  Then we had family night and visited a while and then played laser tag.  Then we went to bed.  Most of us thought that the kayaks and paddle boats were the funnest part of the outing.  While I was using the kayak with one of my grandsons on my lap my son was playing around and pushing  us with his kayak and mine rolled over.  Luckily my grandson and I had our life jackets on.  I grabbed him and swam to shore holding him, the kayak and paddle.  I didn't think the water was that deep, but it was over my head.  My grandson is only 3 but he isn't afraid of the water at all.  We had a very fun time but we are all very tired.   Saturday morning we ate breakfast and cleaned the place up and headed home.  I really enjoyed spending a couple of days with all my kids, son-in-laws, husband and grandkids.
