(Dreaming of) Running in the Tetons

Today I took advantage of our late start and went running with my dad. We went up on Bonneville golf course then around by the zoo, on Shoreline, and came out at This is the Place. It was a really fun run! The first maybe 3 miles were pretty hard for me, I couldn't find a good pace but the last bit of the run, I felt great!

My right hip area has been hurting ever since I ran yesterday morning...

Today I did the normal zoo run. When I got to the corner of Foothill and Sunnyside, it had started to rain. The rain slowly became hail and by the time I was infront of the zoo, I was really windy and cold and hailing. I was tempted to turn around but in a weird way it was kind of fun! So I kept on running and I'm glad I did because the time I was by Wendys, it had stopped raining/hailing and was quite nice!

Now my shins and hip are hurting again so I guess I'll just have to take more time off...

Today was too perfect of a day to pass up running! I just did the zoo run, I felt really good the whole time!

Between today and the last time I ran, my right hip area has still been hurting and my shins hurt when I walk on stairs so that's not good...

Today I did the zoo run again and added a bit more onto it because I was feeling really good.

Ouch!! I ran to then on the track today and when I was finishing up 2.25 miles, my shins and hip started hurting so I decided that I would start running home instead of running the 3 that I'd planned to on the track. As soon as I stopped running when I got home, my hip started to hurt even more. Not good. I think I'm going to have to just go biking for awhile because this isn't good.

I don't know how many miles I should put but I"ll just stick 1 in there to get this to show up... I rode the bike for about 8 miles today. It seemed like the longest 8 miles I've ever ridden. My dad has a thing on the handle bars that shows the time, so each minute seemed to last forever! I had to eventually cover it and then only let myself look at if after every song. I can definitely see how this is going to help me stay in shape while I heal!

Today Hannah and I hauled our booties up 13th south, all the way up up up to basically the base of the foothills. Freakin steep hills! She kicked my butt! I am definitely going to ride up there more often, its an awesome workout but doesn't take too long.
On the plus side, my ankle is less swollen but my shins and hip are still hurting, but not when I'm biking!

Today we hiked up to Delicate Arch. It was very pretty but now my hip is hurting.

Today my dad, Ben, Rachel and I bike for an hour and half on the road that goes to Hurrah pass. It was a lot of fun! Perfect weather! My hip is still sore from hiking though and my shins have been hurting.
