Ha ha ha! I did it! I started getting a little scared last night because I realized I had this massive run today. I even woke up at 4:20 and then again at 5:20 because I could not sleep. I was sore and still a little worried about being able to complete this, but I did it! First off, Powerbar energy drinks suck. Big time. My mom got some for free because they were past their expiration date at Foot Locker. Maybe that was the problem, but it is sick, and made me more thirsty. So I called my mom and luckily she brought me some real water around mile 16. My mom dominates so flippin much. I ran from my house up to Ivins Main street and out to snow canyon parkway. Two miles up and back on Bluff street, and turned right around and came back the same way. Ha ha, I choked on my water while running on Bluff street, and somebody passed me while I was coughing. Yeah. I proceeded to give him a clinic on how to run hills. Great run until about 18 miles. I started getting tired and just had to keep on telling myself to keep on going. I regret that I did stop a few times, but it was half as much as last week (15 minutes). That was my goal and I made it. Last week in Saint George, so next week is going to be amazing.
