I ran with the East High kids today.  I needed a few more miles than they were running, so I came early and got in three before they showed up.  We ran down to Sugarhouse Park and ran 5 state hills (about 300 meters) and then ran back.  I only ran four because I tripped and fell on my face on the first one.  It was definitely a stellar moment for me.  Wouldn't that be great, to make it this far uninjured in training and then hurt myself in a freak accident?

 

It was good running with the kids.  They have all that speed, so I have to work extra hard on hill sprints.  I'm not sure they are very necessary for marathon training, but it's always good to have to push out of your comfort zone.

What the heck Emily?! You are making me nervous! Enough with the tripping/falling/turning too sharp and pulling your butt muscle/etc! Do I need to wrap you in bubble wrap until October 5th? Glad you are ok!

Well, I think you jinxed me by telling me the story of Deena Drossin breaking her foot while mowing the lawn. I'll try not to pull anymore butt muscles.
