This run made me cry. We had to go to seven different 7/elevens, chug a slurpee at each one and then run to the next! I had a kind of high fever last night (101.3 I think?) so it was hard to get up in the morning. The sugar in the slurpees seemed to dehydrate me instead of hydrate. Logan stayed with me while I tried to run in a straight line. I found my favorite flavors to be Pina Colada and Coke. Weird cause I don't drink soda...But Coke was originally invented to solve tummy aches so its totally the right thing! Once we got to the last gas station we had exactly 7.11 miles. Cool huh? We ran back to Liberty and Patrick, Maggie and I did some extra miles. When running back to sunnyside I had this huge pain in my chest and it made me slow down. At one point I was almost on the ground, cursing (shoot, darn, golly, etc.) it hurt so bad. I got back and got a ride with Amanda. Once home I collapsed on the ground, crying. My mommy got me water as I hugged the guacamole out of my cat. All over, I find this annual run to be a beast that I'm proud to have finished. YES! I love finding out I messed up my mileage count and actually did more :D
