I didn't do any exercise today because after work I froze corn and then I cleaned the house.  Luckily Kent helped me and he was very fast at cutting the corn off the cobs.  Leslie and I were going to  swim but it was raining after work.

I met the BBK's for the early miles.  When we got there no one was there so Duke and I ran down to 9800 and back and then when I turned around to run again the group came running up.  They met at a different church.  I ran along with them until my foot started hurting and then I had to walk for a few minutes.  When we met the group for the rest of the run I just jogged back to my car and headed home.  My foot hurt off and on so I had to walk part of the time.  My foot hurt quite a bit at work so I took a relafin after work.  Leslie and I will ride bikes after she gets off work. 

I didn't do my weight exercises today because Leslie and I were going swimming.  We went to Black Ridge Reservoir to swim after dinner.  Just as we were getting out of the car Dean Bullock pulled up to say "hi."  He had just finished swimming.  He went 10 laps across the long way.  Wow what an Iron Man.  Leslie and I swam back and forth across two times which makes about 800 meters.  We are taking it easy this week since our Triathlon in on Saturday.  I sure hope my foot feels better by then.

I didn't do any exercise today.  I'm hoping by taking it easy my foot will feel well enough to do the run with my Triathlon on Saturday.

No exercise today either.  Went to work, came home then went to Cub Scouts.  Kent and I will go to dinner and then Leslie and I will go pick up our packets for the Tiathlon.

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon this morning at Daybreak.   We got there at 6am and got our computer chips and set up our transition area.  Then we had to wait until 8 am for the buses to transport us to the East Lake pool for the swim.  It took about 45 minutes for us to do our swim after waiting for the Olympic swimmers to start and starting in the middle of the Sprint swimmers.  The swim was only 75 meters so it was very easy.  Then we ran 1 mile back to the transition area.  My foot hurt for about a quarter of a mile and then it felt better.  The bike ride was all up hill on the way up and down hill on the way back.  We rode from Daybreak up the Kennecott Copper Mine entrance.   I was pretty tired by the time I got to Kennecott, but the way back was a breeze.  The transition to the run was hard because my legs felt like rubber.  I had to walk for about 30 seconds.  I was pretty tired but I made it to the end.  Chrissy and her daugher Rachel along with Becca came and cheered us on and took pictures.  We left before the awards.  About an hour after I got home the doorbell rang and Dean Bullock was there.  He stayed for the awards so he picked up mine.  I won 1st in my age and also got a $200 gift certificate to Tio's mexican restaurant for being the oldest women in the race.  Dean won 1st in his age group and so did his two sons.  Leslie beat me by about 5 minutes.  I only saw her during the swim.  It was a lot of fun but I was a little disappointed that we were able to do our first open water swim.  I was very tired at the end, but I would have been way more tired if we had swam 800 meters in the lake.
