Natalie came today! :) We ran along 13th to South Temple, then went up to the cemetery in the Avenues and ran up Death hill. Then the groups split up, and I went with those going the longer distance. We ran to the City Creek trail, my first time running it. It had SO many hills and it got to the point where I just didn't want to do it anymore and I wanted to be done. I had decided that like halfway through the hills. It didn't help me out much. The hills were steep, and whenever I saw another one coming I crashed even more mentally. Now I'm worried for Footlocker, what if I crash like that??? Anyway, then we took the trail that eventually turned into the JCC trail. I was far behind the group, so when I got to where the trail forked, I just had to choose one and hope it was the right one. I figured it must be the one that went up, as much as I hated it. So I took that one, but when it just kept going up, and up, and up, I started to second guess. I stopped for a bit to see if I could hear the group, but I couldn't, then I just decided maybe a little further and I'll be there, and sure enough I was. Thank goodness I didn't turn around and see if they went on another trail... From then on I knew the trail well enough. It was JCC now. After a little bit I realized how slow I must be going, and so I decided to pick up the pace. I just told myself it would be easier if I went faster. Which it was. :) I caught up to Abigail and Ethan and stayed at their pace, then right before the trail ended Abigail picked up the pace by a lot, so I decided to go with her, especially since I've never actually known the right way to go from there. So I followed her. Turns out it wasn't the right way after all...we were apparently supposed to go to Shriner's and go that way back. |
