Dumpster Fire

September 7, 2016 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: So glad I don't have hw tonight

Comments:
I thought this run was complete suckage. It wasn't just the heat, several different factors built up over the day and they all hit me on this run. I walked 8 miles during the day because I was helping freshmen find their classes and I forgot my waterbottle, so I came to practice dehydrated and tired. Being a Link Leader was fun though. I brought Aurora to the team room after school. She doesn't have any friends here yet so I'm going to eat with her during 3rd period tomorrow and maybe give her a mini tour.
After we got up the hill, I thought it would get better but it didn't; it was as if I never recovered from the hill. Ingrid fell behind and Grace, Charlotte, and I were lagging a few meters back. I asked Zoe to slow down and let Ingrid catch up, which she did, but then she sped up again. She wasn't really going that fast, but it was honestly just too much for me.
We ran on a part of the freese road trails that I haven't been on since what I call my "Winter Weekend Adventure Runs" (really my track pre-season "long" runs). It was fun except for the unwanted hill, and then we were fussing over where to go for like 7 minutes because none of us have ever done this run before. I only knew that we were suppose to go up the cemetery and to the freese road trails.
I don't have much to say about the way back. It was miserable. Grace had to walk the last half mile because she felt really sick.
