Catch me if you can

I can't really call this a run.  I ended up walking 90% of it with some pathetic jogging here and there.  My body hurt and my sinus cold was in full force.  I was determined to get out.  It took me 1:27 minutes.

I was so looking forward to running with the group.  I found out late the night before that someone at work was sick and I had to be there early.  Very disappointed!

I started at work, ran to down to the trail until I hit 4.5 miles and turned around.  Avg pace 9:12.

I was a few minutes late to meet the group at SJ park.  I ran up to the top of Rustic Roads and back for an easy 2 miles.  Greg was in charge.  After a warm up, we did a little thing were we ran single file and the person in back has to sprint to the front.  Then we did 4 hill sprints on Rustic with a recovery down.  Then we ran easy to the school followed by a fast 2 miles back to the cars.  I went to work and ran a few more miles until I hit a little over 10.  It was long day and I felt pretty tired.

I met Angela and Brittanee at Angela's house to run the Bonneville Shoreline Trail again.  Just like last week, we ran the .7 miles uphill to the trailhead accross from the equestrian park in Draper.  I felt pretty good for the first 6 miles where came out by the church on Wasatch.  Then we ran 2 miles North on Wasatch until we hit 8 miles and turned around.  It was at about that point when I started hating it.  I just felt exhausted.  Once we got back on the trail I was ready to be done.  Brittanee had decided to turn around about 2 miles into the run.  Poor Angela had to keep coming back to me to make sure I was ok.  She is an awesome trail runner.  I really hope I'll be able to keep up with her soon.  It took me close to 3 hours to finish.  I swear it felt harder than the marathon 2 weeks ago.

I need to remember how crappy I felt today and eat better the day before next time.  I ate very little yesterday and when I woke up hungry this morning I knew that was a mistake.

Trail running is tough!!!  I have so much respect for people who race on the trails.
