I ran a mile with Duke this morning.  I started down our street heading to redwood road.  When I got to redwood the street and sidewalk were icy and slippery so I turned around and ran back down my street to 13th west and then turned around and ran back to redwood and then turned around and ran home.  I would go farther but I don't want to hurt Duke's leg.  In another couple of weeks I will increase it to 2 miles.  After I cleaned and help take care of Kent I did my arm weight exercises.

I met the group for the early miles at Bingham.  Julie got out and started running around the parking lot so I did too.  She wanted to get a little extra running in because she was leaving early to make her daughter a Birthday breakfast.  We did the usual course around Temple view and Bonanza and then down to Bridal Oaks.  I took a few shortcuts to stay up with the group.  When they ran down Bridal Oaks then turned right so I went back out to 2200 and ran North thinking I would catch them on the next street.  I ran north past  one street that was a dead end and then turned west on the next street.  I ran down that street for a while and didn't see the group so I ran back out to 2200 and headed back.  When I got back the group was already back and starting to head out again.  We did Temple view again and Bonanza and then went across the street to the other subdivision and did 800's around a neighborhood.  After one 800 I headed back to Bingham so I could be to work by 7am.  I was very tired.  I haven't gotten as much sleep the past few days because my husband had a knee replacement and needs a lot of help during the night.  He feels really bad that he keeps waking me up but I am glad to help him.  

I took Duke on a 1 mile run after work and a short nap.  Then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  Then I tried to do my pushups.  I don't know what was wrong today but I could only do 25 mens pushups and then a short break and 25 more.  Maybe it is lack of sleep.

Met the group for the early miles at Riverton High School.  I was a little early and Kris was running around the parking lot so I did too.  Then we ran south to the next street and turned west until we got to the street that goes south to 126th.  On 126th we went east to 2700 and then north to the school and then ran west through the subdivision and then back to the school.  We met the others and did the same course around to 126th but instead of going in the subdivision across the street we went to the same street we started from and ran up and down and then the group was doing a 1 mile run and I had to leave to get to work.

I went to my triathlon class today instead of running with the group.  They were meeting at 6:15 at Bingham.  When I woke up at 5am I looked outside and it was snowing and there was 5 inches on the ground I decided not to run.  Leslie is sick so I would have been by myself in the snow the whole run.  I haven't been to my Tri class for over 2 months. It was a very good workout.  I'm counting the swim,. bike and run miles together because I don't know how to put them on separate.
