Time 57:19 AP 9:33

Not included are 3 hill sprints I did with Jeff @ 10 seconds each. We timed each other.

Did 4 recovery (for him, not me, he raced, i didn't) with Jeff and then did the hill sprints. I then did 2 more by myself. 5th mile I was still recovering from the last hill sprint and my last mile I tried to push it so 8:54. I'm already sore from the hill sprints:)

Beautiful morning for running. Cloudy, which means cold for the girlies in 8:30 swim lessons. My 9th grader has summer PE for the next 2 and 1/2 weeks from 7:30-11am. So much for lazy summer mornings.

Jeff's on the blog now. Well, he's being approved. Go welcome him to the blog:)

Sleep was interrupted @ 2:30am by a thunder/lightning storm. I waited for my 6 year old to show up any minute cause I knew she'd wake up and be scared. She came in and asked if she could sleep in the middle. I thought that was cute. She's never said that before. Carried her back when the storm was over so I could get some sleep.

Did 4 by myself around home, down 86th, up waters and falcon. Tried to keep up good speed on the hill. Came home to make sure Jane was up and say goodbye before she went to PE. Left to do 4 more and saw Lysa up ahead about to cross the intersection. It took me a while to catch her but I did and we ran together which was so fun! It's been a while. My legs are tired from those hill sprints yesterday.

Hilly route. Left @ 5:45am so I was able to see the sun touch the white mountain top as it came up. Beautiful pink color. Spectacular sight!

1st run of Wasatch Back. Runner 12. Started @ 6:38pm

rated "Very Hard"

Freak'in HUGE hill up to Snow Basin.

pulled my right piriformis muscle sometime during this run. my chest was burning for a few hours after this run. I think I started out too fast. the downhill before the final climb to the finish really saved my AP. I booked it down and was so happy to be running down!

ps. I'm never again calling Newcastle a hill.

 Wasatch Back cont...

Leg 24 =Time 1:06:58 AP 9:54

5:47am

"HARD" (esp since I think I pulled my right piriformis muscle during my first run so I didn't have full range of motion on my right leg for the first 3 miles. then it got better)

I saw a colt nursing and later I saw a dead deer off the side of the road. I think I had 12 kills on this run and there was a cute blond girl who passed me but I eventually caught her on the downhill (the short section of downhill). We stayed together till the end and she helped me stay strong. We sprinted to the finish together and missed the chute and had to duck back under the orange divider to get to the right place. Thank you cute girl for helping me finish strong! After this run I no longer had the right butt muscle issue I guess it worked itself out during this run. I didn't think I'd get through those first 3 miles and I was slow cause of it. I kept praying it would go away and I guess it worked. I didn't bring my water belt and got water/powerade at the first station but the next two were abandoned so I was very thirsty at the end. 

No van support on any of my legs! bleh!

Leg 36,  another "HARD" =Time 1:12:38 AP 10:06

3:16pm

I took my water belt on this run. I could tell that everyone on this run was beat/tired whatever cause I passed a lot of guys who were walking. I didn't even see the van drive by here cause they had to shuttle to the finish. Started at Deer Valley and ran toward a neighborhood with HILLS of course. Common denom in all my runs. I think I had another 13 kills on this run at least. After the neighborhood we went down a trail that went straight down. I have no experience with this so I just hoped the people in front of me did and I followed them. It was a fun change. We turned onto a paved path along the highway. Well I could see the highway. I was hurting in odd places all over my body. My neck was hurting on the left front side. What??? I also remember my legs feeling like they were just going to buckle out from under me at any minute at this point in my run. I don't know if it was because of that steep trail that I probably ran too fast.  I was praying that feeling would pass soon. I just had to tell myself "keep going...almost done...I also took a swig of gatorade while running around here and inhaled it down the wrong place and started coughing and ugh! We crossed and headed toward the school but had to get over a hill with winding trails through ugly bushes. We could see how much farther and all the hills and tons of people were walking. Head wind, heat, I was so ready to be done! It seemed never ending. We eventually headed up and down and to the road that took us to the finish. I gave it my all and my whole team was waiting at the finish. They formed a tunnel for me and I almost started crying. I sprinted to the finish with them right behind me! So happy to be done.

WAY TO GO TEAM UNCOMFORTABLY NUMB!!!
