After work and short nap I did my leg weight/ stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.  They I got dinner in the oven.  While dinner was cooking I used the elliptical for 20 minutes and the stationary bike for 15.

Met the group for the early miles at the park across from Lifestyles Fitness.  Only Julie, Cheris, Aaron and I came to the early miles.  We ran south to 114th and then ran up 114th to 13 west and turned around and headed back.  Then we ran east on 114th heading towards the railroad crossing.  I was behind the group so I turned around after I got to the top of the hill and before going down the next hill.  I headed back to the park and when I got back the rest of the group was there and ready to run.  They wondered where the others were and I told them they were checking out the railroad crossing over 114th.  We headed out and met the others just before 114th.  We headed east on 114th so everyone else could check out the railroad crossing.  They all headed back before I made it to the crossing.  They all turned south on the roller coaster road and I headed back to the park because I needed to be to work at 7.  It was a good run.,

I did my arm weight exercises and then I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.

Met the group at the park at the bottom of tithing hill for the early miles.  I started off first and headed down the trail.  We turned left and headed down the trail.  I wore a tank top and shorts because I thought it was warmer, so I was a little cold for the first 2 miles.  By the time I got to the big hill through subdivision I was plenty warm.  When we got back to the park we jogged around the parking lot for a few minutes while we waited for the rest of the group.  When they got there we went down the trail again but this time we turned right and headed south.  The group passed me up right away except Debbie Kroll she went slow with me for 15 minutes and then we turned around and headed back since I had to be to work at 7.  It was nice of Debbie to go slow with me.  We had a nice visit.

Leslie and I met the group to run the Riverton Half Marathon course.  We got there about 15 minutes early and started out.  It was chilly, but I knew I'd get hot so I wore a tank top and shorts.  We went slow and steady and I made it up tithing hill without stopping.  We thought the group would catch us at 126th but they didn't.  We ran down the hill by the pool and then headed south on the trail.  We ran about 1 1/2 miles on the trail before the group caught us.  I told them to make sure they saved us a doughnut.  When we got to the trail head on 144th we stopped and ate a half a chocolate cake doughnut(my favorite) and some chocolate milk.  I was tired and that gave me energy to continue on.  It got cold off and on so I put my arm warmers and gloves back on.  We made it to the dreaded "S" curve and I was able to run all the way up.  We decided to run straight down 13th west to the park instead of going out to redwood because Leslie had to be home to help her friend frame the basement.  We made it back to the park and Cheris, Michell, Aaron and Julie were still there.  We visited for a minute and then headed home.  It was a good run and I made it to the end.
