Pipeline! First half I lead the group, felt really good. Started to crash about 4 miles in but told myself to make it to the turn around and I'd have a break. Didn't slow down too much on that mile. We got there and Bill said to turn and go. Yeah I tried to hang back but Bill seemed to know exactly what I was thinking, he made me run with him. My positive thoughts were fading though and I didn't think I could make it back. When we got to rattlesnake Bill started us on a fartlek. I did two of them then stopped because my negative thoughts won. Now that I think about it, I made it farther with Bill than I had thought, I don't really know how much farther I expected it to be. It was only 4 miles farther from where I stopped. I should have just stayed with Bill. I know that if I had flipped the switch to positive thinking I would have been able to. I guess flipping that switch is one of my biggest struggles. Went pretty slow after I was by myself. I did something to my garmin by accident and tried to fix it while running but almost fell off the cliff trying, so I stopped after that.
