Notes
Here is the story of why I only ran 2 miles today: I woke up today feeling motivated to try to run longer than I have been, I was thinking 6 miles. I started my run all excited but about 100m in, I saw a bunch of tourists pulled over on the side of the road. They were looking at a bear. I contemplated continuing in that direction (there is exactly one main road in YNP and that's where I always run, but you have to pass the bear to get there) buuuut I decided it wasn't safe when a bear was just spotted so close to the road even though I had bear spray with me. Soooo I decided to run to the rec center so I ran partway there, calmly walked when I got to the mama elk's territory, and went inside. It is closed sundays but it was unlocked, but unfortunately the only treadmill was broken :(. So basically the only other place to run was back and forth in front of the hotel a million times which I did till I got bored and my hands were frozen. So that's that.
