Summer Round up is in the books. I started the weekend in beautiful Vail for the Vail Hill Climb. It was a great morning with great temperatures. However, my body was trying to get the best of me. My motto was to take one step at a time until I crossed the finish line. I was successful in completing the Vail Hill Climb but it was exhausting. I tried my best to rest and hydrate for Summer Round up.

This morning I woke up early ad tried to prepare as much as I could for the run. Stomach was still off but I knew I needed to do what I could to get energy. We arrived at the race early and started our preparations. I was monitoring how I was feeling and was hoping for the best. The race began and I was off to finish my second race this weekend. The first lap I was feeling ok and was hoping it would continue throughout the race. Second lap, my legs were starting to feel like lead. I was hydrating and doing my energy chews but my stomach was starting to protest. Lap 2 was completed and I was on my final lap. My legs were even heavier and I knew I had to avoid anymore in my stomach or it would be bad. My motto was Don't Quit, Don't Stop Moving. I crossed the finish line and was so relieved. Even though I was under the weather physically this weekend, I was still successful!! Now time to recoup and taper for Barr Trail Mountain Race and the final preparations for Pikes Peak Doubler!
