ran 2 and a half laps around theperimeter of sugarhouse park.

Ran 4.2 miles around the neighborhood before I went to the grand canyon today for FALL BREAK!!!~ A week off y'all! Met up with Sarah and ran from her house, over to 1300 south, up to foothill and over to 2100 south, down to 17th east and over to 1700 south, down to 1600 east and over to Browning ave and back up to Sarah's house. I felt bad because I made Sarah go so slow and had to stop a few times because I have not ran up hill at all this year.... It is so pathetic how slow we were going and I was still really tired! I really need to run more uphill. When I got home I did my core, squats, wall sits and calf raises and ran the .3 for 4.5

This afternoon I went on my run at the Grande Canyon. It is incredibly windy here! Our hotel is on the freeway so I cant run on the road but I managed to find a trail that lead me to a neighborhood. I ran out a mile, then did 2x400 strides up a hill. The hill wasnt that steep but I need to start somewjere with hills. Then i ran home which was all up hill, back to the Hotel and I was still going against the wind no matter what direction I was running. Averaged 7:06, my slowest mile was my last mile which was 7:08 so my uphill pace is coming back.
