ITS SUSANNAHS BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSANNAH!!!! So I met up with Susannah, Abigail, Katherine and a few of Susannah's team mates Bekah and Alyssa. They were really nice! We all drove up to pipeline to all do different distances on the trail. I was only planning on going six while most everyone else was going 9 or 10. I started out feeling fine but since this is my first trail run of the summer and I am used to stop lights and stopping to stretch I died after a mile and a half. I did go 4 without stopping though so that is a good thing:) Actually it is kind of pathetic! About a quarter of a mile into the trail we saw a snake on the trail and a dog was barking at it and the snake was hissing.... I hope the dog didn't get bit! But after the first mile and a half I was alone. At 2.5 miles I caught back up to abigail. I turned around at that point and I think Abigail did also because she never caught back up to me but I heard footsteps for about a quarter of a mile after that point. I felt really tired but was able to keep running for 4 consecutive miles.... At a slow pace but was able to continue... When I got to the point where I saw the snake I started sprinting like no other so I wouldn't get bit by the snake! Then I ran up a half mile on the road and back to get to 6. I am really happy I went on this run because it shows me where I need to work on my endurance... I need to work on it hard core! Then I waited for Abigail to get back then I took a 10 minute foot ice bath in the river because my feet were exhausted... Susannah brought us cookies to eat after the run:) Thank you Susannah!!!! |
