Went on a really late hike last night, came home to get 2.5 hours of sleep, then met up with friends to hike at 3:30 am. We hiked up to the reflectors and watched the sunrise. It was totally worth it. Chilled on the mountain, ate breakfast, then hiked back down. The hike is 2 miles up, but it's super steep. Coming back down was sketch. It took me and Kels more time to get down than up, lol(1:30ish up and 1:45 down). We'll see if I go on a run later today, my body is sore.
After doing nothing productive except for sleeping and reading, I had a burst of energy, so I ran. It was about 80 degrees so I wore a tanktop and had my messy braids from yesterday in. Turned on my africa playlist which gave me even more energy (consisting of Alex Boye and the lion kind). 4 up the canyon and my quads were sore. My pace, though, was a 7:30 up to the third mile. With the uphill 9-minute laste mile, the average pace went up to 7:55. I was done with uphill after the last 36 hours. Picked up Ruby; we only lasted a half mile in 4:17. It was a really fun run today, even with the heat. It kinda hit me that this is my last year to run in hs, so I better make the best of it.
