so today we went from East to sugarhouse. we started a lap around and stopped just before we got to Highland. There was some hill that we ran 12 times up and down it. on the first couple I wasn't feeling it, but then I realized that, "hey, I should be trying my best and pushing myself like I would in speed" so by the like 3rd or 4th one I started to try harder. this is when I really started to not feel good. I would start at the front and then as we ascended the hill I would get tired and slow down. I would breathe all heavy and not feel great and come back down. Bill told me to push up the hill so I tried as hard as I could. towards the end I thought I would throw up or pass out. so I took it easy on the way back. we finished the lap around and headed back. I ran with Olivia for the rest of the way. you know when you are so tired from running that you hit the stage where every little thing seems cool or funny? yeah i'm pretty sure that's where Olivia and i were. we had some good conversations, and Olivia pointed out a huge leaf that seemed really cool at the moment. I'm glad she kept me going. It was around 6 miles. |
