Tried to do a 6-mile tempo down the canyon, targeting 5:00 per mile. Started out at close to 5:00 pace, but ran into some kind of governer (possibly due to the heat) and found myself gradually slowing down. I stopped when I was approaching 5:20 pace - ended up with 25:20 for 5 miles. Total of 12 today.

Tried the tempo again - this time my pace was even slower (although there was headwind). Got 20:31 for 4 miles. Tried resting a bit and doing another 2, but was only able to hit 10:05 (4:58, 5:07).

I tried waking up super early to escape the heat - and it paid off! It was actually only a little above freezing in the canyon when I started the tempo. My time for 6 miles was 29:42 (14:56, 14:46 with a 4:51 last mile). Total of 12 today.
