Comments:
Today I ran the famous Magnolia Rd from running with the Buffaloes(p 33 i think). Drove up with a few girls from the station that also run and we have been talking about doing this run all summer. I did the out and back and they went one way, so I picked them up at the end.
This was by far my best run of the summer. From how the book describes it, I thought that we were going to be climbing Everest or something. Although, it was hilly, it wasn't that bad with downhills to recover. A lot more up hill on the way out and easier on the way back. I ran pretty quick for the run. CU has a running camp and they were out on Mags today doing 8 mile out and back or so. This gave me more motivation because there were strung out and so I passed them one by one on the way out. Some of the counselors thought I was part of the camp and were confused when I turned around to do 7 more. I ran the official 14 mile Mags run in around 1:39 and then added on .5 each way from where we were parked to the 5 mile mark were CU starts there run.
Felt really good until the last mile or so when my stomach started to hurt and I had to go to the bathroom. Took a two hour nap when I go home. Think we will try to do Mags again next week.
