*Leave*A*Legacy*

Ran up toward sliding rock but they wouldn't let us in there.  Then we ran down by the camels and then went into lambert and came out by tawny's hill.  Then we headed back to the park.  It was a good run.  My legs have started doing better so I hope they can continue to gain strength and not hurt as much.

Today I ran with American Fork because we needed to discuss the details of Ragnar.  It was fun.  They have a weird run style.  They start out really slow.  Then they pick it up for a bit. Then at 3 miles we stopped stretched and then their coach went off before us.  Then we ran and we picked up the speed a lot.  That is definitely not my style of running.  I just decided to keep a decent speed pace today what I was supposed to do.  I'm excited to run with AF for Ragnar.

I also got new shoes which was exciting.  They are heavier than my other ones so they will take a while to get used to but they feel good.

Today we did the wall. I was planning on just walking it but then I wanted to be the first to the top.  So I ran up it. I went pretty slow. I probably finished it in 4:55-5:00 range.  I finished a lot before everyone else.  Hills are a lot of fun.  Then we went back. Finished with the last mile at 5:40. It was pretty good.

I felt pretty awful today.  I had a cold where my nose is really stuffy and I have a ton of stuff in my throat so it was really hard to run. But I got through it. We went a pretty slow pace today which was nice.  It was around 7:05 average I think. 

Today I ran with American Fork. It was fun.  When they go through tunnel things they start shouting and screaming really loud. It's weird.  We did 4 easy miles to get ready for ragnar. We ran with the girls from AF so the pace was relaxing.  I'll get another 7.7 miles tonight at Ragnar and then another 10 tomorrow.  It should be a lot of fun.  Hopefully my cold won't bug me while I run.  We are hoping to win the high school division which I think will happen because our team is super stacked.

When our van got handed off the slap bracelet we were 15 minutes behind davis.  We stayed that way til my leg where I was supposed to run 7.7 miles but I got lost and ran 8.4 miles but I was going faster than the Davis guy so I only lost 3 minutes and I ran .7 miles farther than him.  On this leg BYU's runner also got lost but he ran an extra 2.6 miles so that would stink to be him. 

My first leg was at 11:30 last night.  My next leg was at 5:30ish.  It was a 6 mile leg.  It was all a slight up hill except 2 parts there was like a third of a mile down hill.  I got sick of the up hill but still maintained not a bad pace.  It was a lot of fun.

My last leg was so so so so so hot.  I was just glad that my average was below 6:00 because of the heat.  It was just 4 miles it had a slight climb for some of it but it wasn't bad.  But the heat was awful.  Before I had dumped water on me and within 5 minutes it was completely dried up.  It was crazy.  Running in the heat, having a cold, with under 2 hours of sleep, and not having full leg strength was really hard but was a lot of fun with the AF guys. 

Shout out to Mckay Johns who even though he doesn't have a blog he ran an 8:40 2 mile in during his 4 mile leg.  He was flying and was going as fast as our car at points.  For a small portion he was going 3:40 pace which is insane.
