Ran 8 miles up the East Canyon today, to prepare for the WBR.  I was very surprised that I felt so good running up the hill without breaks.  I thought that the 10k Friday, 5k on Saturday will make me very tired....but not too bad.  I am ready for RAGNAR.

I was going to rest, but decided to run with a friend, Kent.  We went up to Brighton and did 4 loops x .75 mile.  With the 10,000 ft elevation, I was tired.

Today...I'm so tired.  I want to rest, but I realize that I have the WBR this weekend.  I am going to run the RAGNAR leg...Ahhhhhh!!!  So I called up my friend Jennifer to run with me @ City Creek. 

I showed up at 5:30 pm and it was hot...hot...hot.  We managed to run 8.5 miles, but extremely exhausted.  I am not sure if it was the heat or I didn't have rest day since Friday...oh well....!!!

Rest from running today.

I went swimming at lunch for an hour.  I was able to cover a mile swim, about 72 laps.

WBR today...!

I was assigned to run leg #10 (Ragnar!).  I ran WBR several years now, but this is the first time I was in second van.  First two legs were fun.  I ran just like I did with 5k, 10k.  Very nervous on the RAGNAR....never see this hill before.

AHHHHH!!!! What a horrible hill it was, RAGNAR!!! I felt like it was never ended.  Coach Bill was running with me the first 3/4 mile.  I was so burned out, do decided to walk a little bit.  A few minutes later, my friend Jennifer came and pace with me to the top of the hill.  Now I know what WBR named this hill as RAGNAR.  It's horrible and steep.  But I survived!!!
