Recovery

Met at Sugarhouse today. We did the boring old cemetery run and when I got back to the park I did a big grass loop. I might go for a 4 miler later tonight so I can front load this week because of trek.

Today I slept in and was woken up by Sarah calling and asking if I was coming. Ten minutes late, we met the group at the small parkway by Parley's bridges for a run. We started by doing half mile out and back on the road to the entrance of the trail. After about a mile on the trail the 6:40 pace wiped me out and I ran alone the rest of the run, which was very miserable. I went to Thunderbird, up to Wasatch, past the zoo, and turned around. When I got back I was dead because I didn't get enough sleep last night, and I didn't do the last half mile out and back. Now that I've taken a nice 3 hour nap I might go out again tonight.

Slurpee Run... Ew. We met at Sunnyside park and got our lists. We ran to the first 7/11 but the cups weren't out yet so we went to the one on 3rd Avenue. I ran with Kiley, Ryan, and Ethan for the whole thing. At the 2nd 7/11 I got a Strawberry Banana. It was hard to get it down and it was icky for my tummy. At the next 7/11, they set the cups out just as we got there, so the group ahead of us didn't get their slurpees there, cheaters. I got a grape one and it was NASTY but felt great on my tummy. Next one I got a watermelon lime flavored slurpee and we took pictures with the cops. That one tasted gross but was easy on my tummy. The next one I got banana, then the next one cherry, which both tasted delicious but were icky on my tummy. At the last one I got a pinacolada which was easy and delicious. We met up with everyone at Liberty and a somehow ended up walking back up to Sunnyside. Sam, North, and I took turns pushing each other up the hill in a random shopping cart we found. Later a bunch of us went and made some bacon and got more slurpees. I still want more bacon and slurpees.

Today after trekking for 8 miles pulling a handcart, Sarah S and I went for a run because we're crazy. We went out 1.25 until we found a cattle guard we never saw while pulling our handcarts, so we thought that we might have gotten lost. We turned around and went back to the camp then decided we wouldn't go out as far anymore. About 3/4 mile out there was a big herd of cows at a pond, and they were really scary, especially when they started running, so we did that out and back a few times to avoid any trouble with the cows.

Today after trekking 11 miles and doing a half mile womens pull, Sarah S and I went for a run. It was dark, so my Ma and Pa made us wear glow bracelets and carry flashlights. We had to stay where we could see the camp, so we ran up and down the hill 24 times. In the morning we realized how steep that hill really was. I'm proud of us.

Today after trekking for 6 miles in the sand, wind, and rain, I went home and took an all night nap after my super long shower.
