We switched running locations today. It was terrible. We ran in the hills for 7 miles and the first half (literally - 3.5 miles) was completely up hill. I lost my pace group because I felt like my lungs were on fire. Luckily when I got to the top of the mountain, er hill, er demon gravel structure, I found my group and was able to run down with them. Down was much easier but there were three up hill climbs on the down hill run - not at all in the brochure.
Before we went out for our run today, one of the mentors told why he was running with TNT. It was incredibly emotional, not a dry eye on the mountain. I thought about why Eitan and I are running with TNT as I climbed the 3.5 miles up. I really wanted to stop and turn around but realized, our loved ones with blood cancers don't/didn't get to do that. They had to run the whole way - up hill - and it totally sucked.
