Ben, Duke and I did our usual walk down to the River Bottoms and back and then I took Duke on a 3 mile run.  Then I ate breakfast and got ready for work.  My daughter Christine is in labor so I will probably be spending the night at her house tending kids.

Ben, Duke and I did our usual walk down to the river bottoms and then I went to running group.  I went to the early miles and then stayed for 1 mile of the other.  My daughter was having her baby and I had to be to her house by seven to tend her kids.  She had her baby boy and my 27th grandchild at 1:30pm.  He is a healthy boy and weighed 8lbs 2oz.  I took care of her kids until 8:30 and then went home.  I was very tired.

Ben, Duke and I did our usual walk down to the river bottoms and then I had to be to work at 6am.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

Ben, Duke and I did our usual walk down to the river bottoms.  Ben really had a hard time holding onto Duke on the way back after Duke spotted a cat and decided to run after it.  I'm glad Ben was holding onto him.  Then I met the group for the early miles.  It was nice to visit with everyone for a minute before they all got ahead of me.  When we got back to the church for the regular miles I took off early because I knew the route and could only stay for 1/2 and hour more.  I ran down to 3200 and to 104th and then turned around and headed back.  Then I got ready and went to work.  Everyone at work noticed that I had a black eye.  Last night I helped Leslie lift her spin bike out of the back of her truck and as I was lifting the metal part that holds the seat hit me in the face just below my eye.  It didn't hurt too much but it really gave me a black eye.  After work I took my second oldest daughter to lunch for her Birthday.  She turned 38 today.  We went to Olive Garden and it was very good.

I met the group at Village Inn for the early morning run.  We were doing the South Jordan half route.  The others started out ahead of me but Eric ran with me.  We headed out to 118th and south to 40th west, then north past the temple.  Then the others kept going and Eric and I stopped and called Leslie and then ran to her house which is just below the temple in the subdivision.  After we picked Leslie up we continued on on 40th west to Sky Drive and then headed west.  Part way up Lisa Dudley was heading back our way.  She got lost and didn't know the route so she ran with us.  She and Eric ran ahead, but stopped every now and then to get directions from us.  We made it past the gulley and then out to 106th.  We stopped for a minute and Lisa gave us a shot blok and we gave them the directions for the rest of the way.  We made it up to the Lake and around and stopped at the Pop and then up to Soda Row and on to the elementary school and then south.  Leslie was feeling a little bit sick and our water was almost all gone so we stopped at the church on 118th and filled our bottles.  Since she was feeling sick and my foot was hurting, we decided to just head straight down 118th to the district.  We got back just ahead of Lisa and Eric.  As we drove out I said goodbye to Eric and took Leslie home.  It was a good run and I was tired at the end, but now I know I can make the South Jordan half in October.
