We went up to Sam's cabin today! It was fun! But the run was horrible. I debated whether or not to stay and help with breakfast, but then decided to go for the run. My thinking on this was "it'll be easy, Bill said something about a recovery run." I couldn't have been more wrong. The first mile was all REALLY steep uphill, and then when we finally FOUND the trail we were trying to get to, it was still hilly. My calves were killing at this point, that whole area. I did stop to walk a bit because I just couldn't handle it. No wonder the others turned back right at the beginning. They got a clue. Then we turned around and went back, it wasn't nearly as bad but the hills had worn me out and I wasn't feeling too great. We were going slow though and it was downhill, so I managed until we were off of the trail. Then I just tried to stick with the group, but lost them on the 2nd to last hill, which was probably the steepest hill to go up in a long time. All I could think of was: Hill week part 2. |
