Met coach at Jimmy Johns at 6am. Ran up the trail past Center St for a couple miles, saw a herd of deer running. Then it got really steep and coach told me to go ahead. Got to the summit (3 miles, 2000 ft elevation gain) in around 39 minutes. Yelled Drago as loud as I could. Went to 40 and then turned around. Found coach and went back down, it was way muddy, rocky, snowy so that was sketch. Raced a little towards the end when it got flatter. 1:30 for .35 mi, 4:17 pace, coach would've beat me but he stopped haha. Finished to 6.5, 10:30 avg pace. Hardest but most rewarding run I've done. It was sick to run in the dark and see all the lights covering the valley. Amazing run, coach has really helped me put things in perspective.
