Dang exciting run today with Tanner. We started on timpanogous road at the outlook point where you can see the back of Mahogany. We ran up big baldy, going there was good except the grass was way overgrown so my legs were incredibly itchy and there were tons if bugs. Once we got to the saddle I realized I was super hungry(I had a granola bar for breakfast and it was 1 o'clock). I spent about a minute at the top cuz we were both super thirsty and hungry. The way back was rough. My energy was completely gone. The first 2 miles back were downhill. We stopped at a stream and drank. It tasted super good. After that we had 5 miles of up hill and I tried to run it but I couldn't. I had eaten 180 calories and probably burned 1500 on the run at least so I was just dead. Tanner went ahead so he could pick me up in the car cuz wow I was going slow. Once I got to the road I would get light headed so I would have to sit down but I would get eaten alive by bugs. The rest of the way was terrible. Every 200 yards I would have to sit down and I was already going slow at it was. Tanner picked me up like .75 before the end so huge shoutout to him. After downing a water bottle in about 4 seconds I felt a little better. He had me drive cuz he was feeling sick. He puked a ton at Timpanooke lol #giardia.

The way back totally sucked, but it was Definetily still a good time.
