Whew! Today was definitely tough! It felt so great though and was the hardest I've pushed this summer. We ran 2 loops that included this long steep hill. We ran it pretty easy the first loop till the stretch to the hill. Then we picked up the pace. I stayed with Liz and Coach till the hill and that was really hard for me. But I made it:)
The 2nd loop I got a big side ache but pushed through it but it stayed the whole rest of the run which was annoying. But when it was time to pick up the pace I stayed behind Liz for a little and then she created a gap. But when Coach ran with me I pushed harder and caught up to Liz at the bottom of the hill. I ran with them the whole way up the hill!! It was super tough but it felt so great to be able to keep up with them! Also my toe didn't hurt one bit! Good day.
