After work and a short nap I went to help Christine.  She has been having back problems and now is to the point where she can hardly walk.  She will be having back surgery soon.  I cleaned her kitchen, scrubbed her floor and did some laundry.  Then I came home and made a dessert for my husband's birthday and then made dinner.  After dinner I did my arm weight exercises and cleaned the kitchen.  Then everyone came over for Kent's Birthday.  I made strawberry cream cheese pie and it was good.

I woke up at 3am and didn't get back to sleep.  I met the BBK's for the early miles.  I didn't bring Duke so I only saw everyone from the back.  After the mile warmup I couldn't see anyone so I just ran down to 126 and went down the road a ways and then turned around and headed back.  When I got back Debbie was there so I ran around the parking lot with her.  During the second part I started before everyone and we did the same warm up.  I stayed ahead for about 2 seconds.  Even Kris, and Debbie passed me up.  The group stopped at the street heading south and I told them not to wait because I couldn't stay long.  It sure isn't as much fun without Duke.  I hope his leg feels well enough to run next week.  After work and a short nap I went and helped Christine again.  Her leg is even worse today than yesterday.  I sure hope they can operate soon.  Leslie and I were going to run until the wind started blowing hard.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.  

I met the BBK's at The Park in Riverton.  For our warmup we ran the route that goes past Stamping Up and out to 3600 West and then South to 134th and then East until we get to the street that turns back to the park.  I started a few seconds ahead of everyone but I was soon quite a ways behind.  I tried to run fast but even my fast running is slow.  I could still see the other runners when I got to 134th but I wasn't sure where to turn.  Before I got to the turnoff, Julie and Kelli came jogging back to find me.  I was glad they came to find me because without Duke I don't feel as safe running alone.  When we got back Cheris was there along with a couple of others.  They were going to do a mile warmup and then another run.  I decided to just run around the block by the park.  I ran around the block two times.  I thought it was only a half a mile but then Cheris said she thought it was closer to a mile.  After I was done running I  measured it with my car and it was about .9miles.  I was glad because I was very tired.  I am taking Duke to the Vet this afternoon to get his leg checked out.

I took the day off work today for my Anniversary.  It's my 39th Anniversary today.  Kent and I are going to the Garden Restaurant in the JSMemorial bld. for lunch and then going to the genealogy library.  This morning  I drove over to Leslie's and we were planning on doing a 5 mile run.  We ran south on 40th west to 118th and then east to redwood and north to 114th.  When we got to 114th it was 5 miles and we were going to turn around and go back but Leslie was feeling sick so we just ran to my house and after we ate a bowl of cereal I drove Leslie home in Kent's old truck.  I left the truck there and drove my car home.  We will pick it up later.  

I didn't do any exercise today.  I had a granddaughter's baptism in Tooele at 9am.  We didn't get home until 12:30 and by then I had so much to do that I didn't have time to exercise.  The baptism was nice and I enjoyed visiting with the family.
