Leslie and I were both very tired this morning so we only ran 3 miles.  We thought about swimming but when Leslie gets home from work we need to pick up a bed for Ben and then take apart Leslie's weight set and haul it into her garage.

Met the BBK's at the church on 102nd and 40th West.  We ran up the road that the church is on west to the base of the Hill.  Then we ran up and down the hill 5 times.  Then we ran up again and ran two streets past the top of the hill and ran down that street and around the turn around and back.  We did this two times and then I headed back to my car.  I'm not sure how many miles I did but I'm counting 4.  I'm always a lot more dead when I run with the group.  This afternoon I did my arm weight exercises.  Tonight I'm teaching water aerobic for our RS enrichment which is quite funny since I've never been to a water aerobics class or even seen one.  The person that asked me to teach just knows that I am very physically active.  I'm sure it will be an experience.

Leslie and I went on a bike ride.  We were going to meet the Bunners but Leslie didn't get to my house until 6am and they leave the rec center at 6 am.  Leslie didn't see any bikers there when she drove by.  We did our usual route down redwood to 126th  and then to 3600 West to 118th.  Then west to 40th west, north past the temple to 98th and back to redwood.  It took us 55 minutes and I wasn't too tired because I go slower for Leslie.  After I ate breakfast and cleaned up I picked up the weeblos and one parent and we headed up to Weeblos Day Camp.  The first thing we did after the opening ceremony was go on a 2 hour hike up the mountain.  I enjoyed the hike.  After the hike we ate lunch and then went to 3 more classes.  In between I walked back and forth twice to the car which was parked about a half a mile away to get things out.  By the time we got home I was very tired.  I took a short rest, made dinner and then Leslie and I went to Blackridge Reservoir to swim.  There were tons of people there so instead of swimming all the way around the outside we swam 3/4 the way around one direction and then turned around and swam the same way back.  We took a couple of short breaks to adjust our goggles.  It is really hard to see where you are going with water in your goggles.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 71 mens pushups.  Then I did a little bit of cleaning and left to go pick up the Weeblos to go to Day camp.  We did BB guns and Archery and then had lunch.  Then we did the boats.  The boats were way fun.  We got in tons of water fights and were soaked by the time we were done.  Then we did the obstacle course and came home.  I was very tired and took a short nap.  When I was trying to decide what to make for dinner, Kent and Ben decided that we should go back to the Pizza Pie Cafe.  It is a place in Highland that my husband wired.  It is very deliscious but I always eat way too much.  They have a salad bar, pasta bar, along with all the pizza you can eat and very good dessert pizza.  Leslie and I were going to swim tonight but I was way too full.  

Since I don't know how to show biking miles I just added them with my running miles.  Leslie and I rode 32 miles today followed by a 6 miles run.  We started out at about 6:45 from Leslie's house and rode down 40th West South to 118th and then up to 3600 and south to 144th and then down to Redwood and south on redwood to the first light past Camp Williams.  Then we turned East and went along the back roads past Thanksgiving Point and then along the frontage road back to 144th and then to 118th and up 40th west past the temple to Leslie's.  Then we took a potty break, refilled our Ice Water and headed out on our run.  We did our Daybreak 6 mile run.  We took it nice and slow.  It was very hot.  When we made it around the lake and were going down Oquirrh Lake Drive we walked for 2 minutes and dumped water over our heads.  Then when we got to the street that turns into Leslie's subdivision we walked again.  We did the run in only about 2 minutes longer than it usually takes us so I felt pretty good about it.  This afternoon Kent, Ben, Becca and I are going camping and fishing to Scofield Reservoir.
