Flaming Geyser. 8 a.m. This is my first run back after I had been sick with the flu/cold all week. I carpooled with Angela to Sunny's, from there to the intersection before Flaming Geyser park. Lisa met up with us there but we got a little lost with where to meet her. We drove and caught up with her at the park. She just had to drive in the park to find a bathroom. It ended up working out just fine. Angela was great on getting us all to start at the same time. Ladies there: Angela, Mishel, Niki, June, Cheri, Anna, Sunny, Lisa, me. It was a nice group of us today! Even though the weather wasn't so great.(lightly rainning) We started out at the bottom of the hill but didn't realize the how long of a hill we had to run up. I accidently didn't restart my Garmin before I ran and so it was adding to my last run a week ago. I had to estimate from the last week and add to what I had from this week. I stayed near the back with Lisa. She walked some but it worked out good for me because as we got a few miles into the run my L knee was bothering me for some reason. Almost like IT band symptoms, I hate to admit. We walked ran a lot near the end. We did a long gradual incline on the hill. It was nice when it started to level off because Lisa and I were both really tired! When we got to the Rd at top we got to turn around and the rest was downhill!. Great run though! We couldn't quite catch to Sunny, Angela, and Niki who were behind as well. We didn't mind just running slower. I am still recovering after my cold and my knee kept bothering me. We tried running on different sides of the Road. It helped some but kept coming back, but the walk breaks helped. When we were done everyone was waiting in their cars because of the yucky weather. Everyone enjoyed seeing Lisa again or meeting her for the first time! Great run despite the leg pain. The hill was hard but great trainning!
