Today we did a buddy run on the trail across from the zoo and above this is the place park. When I woke up I was really sore from the day before so i took a little ibuprofen for my foot and sore legs and got ready. The advanced group met at 7:15 and I went and biked a little with them because I am just starting back and didn't want to go too far because it is only my second run since starting. When they got back my dad assigned us to our groups and we started. We started going up the first hill and  I was able to tell I am still getting back in shape. My group stayed up with me for the first little bit but I knew the new freshmen had Ben to tell them which way to go so I picked it up a little. I really wanted to have a good run. A couple minutes later I caught up to the slower group of girls that started before us. I passed them and kept pushing up the hill. I then saw the faster group of girls and picked it up a little more so I could pass them. I was then on my own for the rest of the way to the turn around. When I got to a little dip in the mountain I turned around to see if my group was on the other side yet and they were. I yelled across to see how far we were going and saw that Caden was leading them. I pushed to the construction fence and then stopped to wait for my group. Caden was right behind me and the rest of my group was a little bit farther back. When my group got to the fence we waited for the second group of guys to get there and then we started. We all stuck together for a while but when I saw some of the girls that turned around at the first fence I picked it up. They were walking a little bit just waiting for everyone to catch up and I thought I could maybe catch them so I went a little faster. Then I saw the slower group of girls on a lower trail and I knew I could catch them because they were walking. I caught them and thought I maybe had a chance to catch the faster group. I started going really fast down the hills thinking I could catch them but I caught my foot under a root and stumbled a little. I picked it back up and caught the rest of the slower group. I wasnt able to quite catch the other group but when I got back they were adding in the park to get to 3 miles so I jogged over and waited because I knew we were doing a little core work. I started my push ups and crunches because I knew I wouldn't do them at home later and I finished two sets when everyone got back. My dad started talking to the team and then we did 3 sets of one minute step ups. When we finished those I did my last set of crunches and push ups and then went to the car and waited for my dad. When we got home i was exhausted so I took a little nap. When I woke up I decided to do a couple more sets of push ups and crunches
