Act like a horse, be dumb, just run.

Wasatch Back practice today.  I had half a gu for fun beforehand just to see how I took to them.  Ran by myself mostly today, at first I tried to keep a short distance behind Monty but it didn't last for long.  We did the trails by Bloomington Hills again and stopped at the trailhead by the Dixie Center for short break.  I cut my finger trying to get out of the bathroom.  There were scary tractors on the trail so I waited for Amanda and Fenja and we decided to go around onto Riverside drive instead.  So I did that and met back up with trail later, so I added .1 because I figure thats how much I extended it.  I did a lot better than last week on this run even though it was still kind of tough.  When I got home I felt pretty sick, I think from the gu, but I felt better after a short nap!

Took my sister in law Hazel running.  We ran two laps around the temple and walked around it twice.

Webb Hill again!  1 mile warm up, once up web hill, half way down and the top half up again, and then down halfway and up the top half once again.  Going up all the way was harder than it was last time, I think maybe because I have been having bad sleeping habits and not getting hydrated enough.  The last time up the top half of the hill I felt good and went a lot faster.  On the way back down to the bottom of the hill I had a monstrous sideache but it get better as I ran on.  1 mile (I cheated by cutting through the golf course, but still counting it as a mile) back to the church where we met! (I took Hazel running again this morning so I added an extra .5 mi)

I didn't know how long this run was but Decker put 6.5 so I did too.  We ran 30 min on a pretty intense uphill in this place out past silver reef.  I stopped to walk for about 30 seconds at 15:00 and then Jake Decker caught up with me so I started running with him.  I ran with him until the 30 min was up and it helped a lot having someone to run with on such a hard run.  We rested at 30 min, turned around and flew back, stopping once to get a drink in the creek.
