Running Blog

Out to Green Pole with Stoner.. it was really nice weather and we talked most of the way out there. On the way back we were pretty quiet but it was still a good run.

Backwards Fire Station.. Best run ever! It felt really good, and it was mostly downhill. We added a mile on by going out to the light before the church on Telegraph. We saw Sierra (okay, not really, but don't tell Stoner) and our favorite bell went off right as we got there. Also.. we stopped by a house so Kaylee could stretch.. and they had doll heads hanging from their trees, which I found slightly creepy. But it was a really fun run, even though Kaylee freshman raced us at the end and no one actually followed her.

I really really didn't want to run today. I felt yucky all day (probably because I was up until ONE THIRTY doing a reading guide last night.) :P And then we found out we only had 4.. so I decided to suck it up and deal with it. We were going to run Starbucks but someone made us run Dog Pound. It wasn't terrible. I felt alright. We kinda separated somewhere in the middle, but by the end, all 10 of us were together again. Stoner and I freshman raced and Kaylee lost. And my hand split open somehow, but Liz doctored it, cause I'm the Megan. (:

Trail Thursday. We went up to Green Springs again, but this time we went up the Ice House hill.. I wanted to die. Coach said the hill was hideous, but that when you got to the top, the trail was fun. Ha! I kept waiting for the fun part. It never came. My legs felt like they were about to explode. No joke. When we finally turned around, we looked up and saw all the boys half a mile ahead of us.. they looked like tiny specks. We were super glad we didn't have to run 6, because we were dying. But then we turned around and it was a BLAST. I tripped on a rock and wiped out, but other than that, it was thee funnest thing ever. When we got to the gigantic hill, Kaylee left us in the dust because some of us didn't actually plan on killing ourselves today so we tried to be careful. But when we got close to the bottom, we just let go and it was fun just to see how fast we could go. I would definitely do this run again. It was sooo fun.

Random house in the fields run.. It was fine. Robert's ran with us and pushed the pace as usual.. we stopped at the river and Kaylee contemplated killing herself.. but ultimately decided that it would hurt the team too much. Although as my sister just reminded me.. she's gonna be gone next year anyway. So maybe it wouldn't be super horrible.. (: Anyway.. fun run. Even though the fields smell like poo.
