For practice, we met up green canyon and began at the Bonneville Shoreline trail. Hadn't ever ran it before, so it was nice to switch things up. Clara and I pushed each other, but had fun talking. It had some nice views, but I could understand that it could get boring. We continued past the graffiti towers to 2.5, then turned around. Coach wanted our pack to go down some switchbacks, which were killer coming back up. We came back pretty slow, getting 5.25 at around an 8:10 average pace.
In the hot afternoon, I decided to run. I brought a frozen waterbottle with me, which was completely liquid by the end. It was over 90 degrees outside. Went up the canyon and kept pushing my pace. Went up 3.5, but on my way down, I wasn't feeling too great. Ran through the park, where a wedding was going on. Coming back, I attempted to push the pace. Stopped a bunch to drink from my waterbottle. 8:09 average pace for 7.13 miles.
