Word of the day. Endure. Thats how I felt on this run. I was enduring it. I felt pretty good until around mile 10 and then I started to hit a wall. I believe it's bc Ive been sick this week but I guess you never really know why one run can feel so good and another can feel so hard. Last week on our 15.t much stronger. Ran the same route as last week except when we got to the Draper trail we went on that 1.7 miles in and then turned around to finish. I did run/walk those last 2 miles. I felt like it was all I had to hang on to the end. felt as though I was actually walking faster then I was running anyway. I ran out of water at mile 12 and Stacie's husband Jeff met us with a cooler full of cold water and gatorade. It was nice of him and felt good to down so ice cold water. My stomach was a bit upset so the gatorade was not tasting good but I endured it anyway bc I thought my body needed it. I was wishing I had my music those last 4 miles. Stacie was ahead of me that whole time and I felt like It would have helped pick me up a bit especially on the trail. But I really enjoyed not having it the rest of the time. I really like running without music. I think its nice, but today I feel it could have been helpful. Im still really happy I did it. Really proud of myself for running 16 miles. And I know as the day goes on I will be even more on a high.

Next week I have to go to girls camp. I will run monday morning and then Im gone tues through friday. I dont know if or how I will be able to run while Im gone. I will be back to do something on saturday and possible sunday too. There is another girl that is going that runs so Im hoping the two of us can work something out. Sorry about the novel. Happy Happy Running to you.
