Comments:
So. today we were scheduled to run at grandfather mountain like we do every year. however, lip sync rehearsal and team activities took longer than anticipated so we had to find somewhere closer to camp grounds to run. so we went to do the firetower run. coach autry has never taken us here in fear of killing our legs for the camp race. this trail is 8mi total, 4 up, 4 down. however, the 4 up is literally...up. i have never ran hills like this before and there were no flat grounds or downhills on the way up, just pure uphill running for a full 4mi until you reach the firetower...my legs were KILLING me! besides the fact that home has no hills compared to this, i was running it with one of ASUs runners, Sarah Williamson. she encouraged me the whole way, especially when i about died at the very top! on the brightside, the last 4 mi were all downhill! :) ive never felt so accomplished and proud to be a runner! and the scenery was absolutely stunning! this was the motivation i was looking for all summer!
