Notes
Another day spent driving through South Dakota. Stopped and hiked at Badlands National Park this afternoon and then checked out some wildlife so my legs weren't as stiff as yesterday. We got to our lodge around 8PM and I asked the front desk lady if there was anywhere to run and she said there was a quarter mile "workout trail" that I could run on and it should be ok right now because "the mountain lions really only come out at dawn and dusk". I thought 8PM was dusk but hey whatever didn't get eaten. It was super hilly, elevation is now over 5000 feet, and I ate a huge bison burger so I didn't feel too phresh.
FREAKED OUT for most of today because my high school teammates WON the 4x8 at state and two of them got 2nd and 3rd in the mile!!!!! Almost started crying out here in South Dakota, seriously I started squealing in the middle of a homestead museum when I got Anneliese's text updates AHHHHHHH
