Sock tans

AM:

Today we went to sugarhouse and did the cemetery run. I wasn't feeling too great, a little bit lethargic. I felt like I couldn't move my legs, for some reason my quads just hurt with every step I took, downhill or uphill. It was hard for me to keep moving. We did a lap in the cemetery then went back. 7 miles

PM:

I went for my own run for about 6 miles, then went home and did laps around my circle, and then Jesse joined me and we went for 2 miles around our neighborhood.

Today we went to Lava Hot Springs!! It was so much fun!! Except the run sucked... we did the loop like last year, but this time I actually finished the loop and didn't walk as much. The first couple of miles were good even though the biggest hills were in that little bit. I fell off the front group, I don't know what was with me. When Dakota was passing me he told me to stick with him, so I tried to keep up and eventually was able to. Running with someone always feels better than running alone. When we got back to the park, I was definitely not in the mood to do another lap, the first one was bad enough. We (I mean they) decided to go out 1.75 and come back, I really don't know why I was feeling so bad. I was exhausted and just wanted to be done. What I ended up doing was going out .75 and then came back with Megan, but then we decided to walk after a little while, then just finished to 7.25. Why was I so lethargic? I don't know. Maybe I should try to get more sleep or something.

Left for Girl's camp today! But before we left we went for a run. Our group split up after we got to Foothill, some people didn't want to go so far. So Olivia and I went along Foothill, then changed up the loop we planned to do and went down 1700 S. down to 15th then over to 13th south and up to 17th east and back, then added up Harrison to get to 5.

I knew I wasn't going to get a lot of mileage at Girl's camp. :/ I woke up super early to go for my run. My leader followed me in a car along the road while I ran. She had to be back by 7 to make breakfast, so I had to cut it short. It took longer than I had anticipated to actually start running. So I only got 4.25 in. It was so freaking cold, my legs felt like they were going to fall off!! And I somehow made it so it was all uphill, so it kinda sucked. At least I was satisfied with breakfast, it was one of the only meals that were appealing to me.

So this morning I tried to wake up my leaders, but none of them did. So I went running during a long break we had. I went along the road for 6 miles, then my leader drove me back. It was so windy and hot!! I had purposefully chosen this way because there wasn't as much uphill, but I was running straight into the wind. Just my luck. It was actually a great run, it was really pretty. I went a lot faster than I thought I was going, I hit a 6:07 first mile, and stayed at a fast pace. It was slightly downhill for a while, but I still was surprised, especially with the wind, elevation and heat. I slowed down a bit towards the end, but there was more uphill too. It was the first time in a while that I have felt good about a run :)

When we were driving home, we saw a ragnar relay going on, and it was cool to watch them. I think it would be kind of fun to do one! Anyway, when I got home I hung out for a bit, enjoying the air conditioning and finally being able to do whatever I wanted. Then I went for a run because I wanted to, despite the heat. I did 8. I was feeling good until about the 3rd mile. It was then that I decided it was really hot. But I finished it, and ended up doing more than I had planned. I had originally thought I'd go out for 5 or 6, but just kept going. I went over to sugarhouse and then went down to 13th and headed towards Cottonwood Complex, but then I decided to turn up the road the cemetery is on, then did a lap in the cemetery, and went back the cemetery run way. When I got back to sugarhouse I went back along 15th. It was definitely hot outside. I will go for another run later tonight when it's not so hot.
