Ran approximately 10 miles today. I ran with a friend who likes to trail run, so we headed up to red rock canyon. Man, was the climb intense. We gained nearly 1,100 ft in two miles. It was really more of rock climbing than running. when we reached the summit, we decided to attempt to reach a road we saw far out in the distance, which turned out to be a bad idea. We "bushwacked" (meaning that we did not take any trail) all the out to the road, nearly falling with every step taken. After the ordeal, it was smooth sailing back to the dorm with the exception of my stomach. Some days it seems to just never comply with running, and hassles you with every step you take. Slowly but surely throughout the run a storm brewed up, causing me to really hurt the last couple miles. In all, a very eventful, but interesting run. |
