Did my leg weight exercises along with my stomach exercises and 80 mens pushups.  The pushup are not getting any easier.  This afternoon I swam laps.  I tried to practice breathing on the other side but it got me so tired I decided that I would just breath on the side that is comfortable.  I swam 50 minutes doing mostly front crawl.  I did a few back crawl, back stroke, and side stroke and one breast stroke.

Met the group at the track.  Ran with the whole group for the warm up and then ran with Kris Bullock around the track at a slower pace.  I had a good time visiting with Kris.  Even at the slower pace I got very tired.

Met the bunners at the SJ Rec center.  We had a good ride.  I had a nice time visiting with Michelle M.  Leslie and I didn't swim after work but I went with her to buy some trees and benches for her yard.  Bridget is having Sicily's 1st birthday party at Leslie's on Sunday.  Sicily turned 1 year old yesterday.  Kent and I went up to visit her.  She is so cute and Glenn and Bridget sure do love her.

Met the group at the church on 9800 and 22nd W.  When they started out Leslie was just getting there so I went slow so she could catch up.  Peggy said we would just go to 40th West since most of us are running the Riverton 10K on Saturday.  When the group got to 40th west they kept going so Leslie and I kept going too.  The group kept going past the Golf Course, but Leslie, Duke and I turned around.  I was tired when I got back to the car, but not dead.  This afternoon I went swimming.  I think swimming is starting to get easier.  I swam 20 laps front crawl, took a very small break, swam 10 laps backstroke and then 10 more front crawl.  This is the first time I was able to swim 40 laps and I wasn't even as dead as other times when I didin't swim that far.

Leslie and I rode our bikes this morning since it was too rainy to ride after she got off work yesterday.  We rode the Riverton 1/2 marathon course, but we started from my house instead of Riverton Park.  When we got to the trail where it went under the road on 126th the water was over the trail so we had to carry our bikes over the rocks.  Leslie made it up the large hill on the trail and so did I.  When we got to Bangerter  the water was over the trail and we didn't want to get wet so we turned around.  Instead of carrying our bikes under the road on 126th we rode up the hill to the pool and out to 13th west and then home from there.  It was a good ride and Leslie didn't crash.

I ran the Riverton 10K today.  I just took it easy and did it in 1hr 3mins.  I thought that was faster than last year, but I looked it up and I was actually slower.  Thats okay though because I did my best.  I wasn't even dead at the end.  Leslie ran with Duke and she finished in 53 minutes.  We have all the family coming over at noon for a barbeque.
